| “The Palace of Versailles stands as a monument to hubristic excess. The decadence epitomized by its gilded walls and hall of mirrors led directly to the French Revolution. Socialites Jackie and David Siegel manage to keep their heads several centuries later, but The Queen of Versailles, the musicalization of their lives receiving its world premiere at the Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston, loses its teeth along the way. Composer Stephen Schwartz and librettist Lindsey Ferrentino take a view-from-nowhere approach to the Siegels’ quest to become American royalty that neither properly indicts the pair for their follies nor sets them up as objects of sympathy.” |
