I just want to say that I\u2019m so proud of this new art that we\u2019ve created, and it\u2019s getting harder and harder to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tShe continued, \u201cI think about all the shows in the past couple of seasons that have come and gone that not everybody got to see. I just love Broadway so much, and I love audiences and the live art form. If you\u2019ve come to see our show, we thank you, we appreciate you. And if you haven\u2019t, we\u2019re here, like I said, until Jan. 4 at The St. James. We\u2019d love to see you here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe closing of \u201cThe Queen of Versailles\u201d was announced on Monday, less than two weeks after its opening night. The curtains falling on the short-lived musical is part of a larger trend of new Broadway shows struggling to find an audience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThe Queen of Versailles\u201d is based on Lauren Greenfield\u2019s 2012 documentary of the same name, and follows two Florida plutocrats who erect a 90,000 square-foot ultra mansion at the height of the 2008 financial crisis. The musical marked a much-anticipated reunion of Chenoweth and composer Stephen Schwartz, who previously collaborated on the 2003 Broadway mainstay \u201cWicked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kristin Chenoweth took to Instagram Wednesday night to share her thoughts on the recent cancellation of her musical&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[17315,9,24,63,122,124,123,20462],"class_list":["post-54484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-kristin-chenoweth","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-the-queen-of-versailles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
