Kristin Chenoweth takes on a larger-than-life role – Latest News
‘Versailles’ at home onstage
Saturday brassy stage musical “The Queen of Versailles” opened on the St. James. Kristin Chenoweth and F. Murray Abraham star. Nobody’s higher.
Story: An over-everything strange blond, itchy to make Dolly Parton look shabby, wished the biggest $100M home within the US. The husband constructed her a Versailles, solely in Orlando alongside snakes and alligators. However, their high-level way of life went bust — as did her desires, closets, way of life, home — simply not the B’manner show.
So how long’s a flossy shiny musical take to overhaul Broadway? It’s now 2025. In 2012 I noticed its first incarnation. It turned then a 100-minute doc about these Siegels whom no person knew, or cared, however who constructed this 90,000-square-foot factor. Que pasa? They ran poor. Down to their final — pardon the expression — screw. Then Magnolia Pictures immortalized it.
Jackie Siegel was as soon as Mrs. Florida. Hair — blond, Blond, BLOND. Neckline — low, Low, LOW. Dress — tight, Tight, TIGHT. Boobs — giant, Large, LARGE. Stomach and behind protruding. At a luncheonette she requested caviar. OK? We’re speaking “to the manner born.” I reported she stated: “My husband might sell this for $100 million — but I’d come with it.” I murmured that was a realty ploy to knock down the price. She stared at me.
P.S. This 90,000-square-foot hut remains to be not completed. They’re in all probability ready for a vacuum cleaner.

Yesterday’s story about the late Donald Sutherland’s delayed memoir jogged my memory of 1994. A dais. We sat collectively honoring Canada’s Ambassador Ken Taylor who’d saved American hostages from getting killed in Iran’s rebellion which ousted the Shah and saved our embassy personnel till they could possibly be rescued. Ben Affleck’s movie “Argo” immortalized the expertise. I used to be honored as a result of I’d been rescued from Tehran. Sutherland was on the dais as a result of he and Taylor knew each other from Canadian colleges. Sutherland in a panic. It was black tie. “My butler packed the wrong jacket. Doesn’t match the trousers,” he lamented. The historic night celebrated escaping death whereas Sutherland obsessed over his jacket.

Food for thought
As Biden sits in his basement spooning oatmeal off his chest and that caretaker spouse scrapes off his ties, allow us to all seek for good materials about our electees. Tough to get good materials these days. Why? Because the nice jokes are already in Albany. I’ve to go now. I’m having dinner with Margo and John Catsimatidis who own 77 WABC. This is how onerous staff akin to myself receives a commission. It’s dinners on the station. From opinions I’ll have heard, the food may even be higher than no matter’s been given to the terrific Kristin Chenoweth and F. Murray Abraham — may even beat the popcorn.
So, one Queens shoe store put in a new order. Every week later the supervisor acquired a letter saying, “We can’t fill your order until full payment is made on your last shipment.” The store supervisor wrote back: “Cancel the new order. We can’t wait that long.”
