Where else can you expect to meet the Queen of Versailles if not in Afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel?
This queen Jackie Siegel and she received the title from 2012 documentary which has since inspired a Broadway musical starring Christine Chenoweth.
“I adore her” Siegel — said over mint tea and pinot grigio.
It's been a whirlwind for the former beauty queen turned philanthropist who, along with her late husband, tried to build 90,000 square foot French chateau outside of Orlando as the crew watched their dreams begin to crumble amid the Great Recession.
Spoiler: the mansion is not finished yet.
“We hope next year,” she said.
Losing my husband And stepson to cancer and daughter And drug sistercaused emotional damage. Still, Siegel's focus is on others.
“The house is not for gluttony, but for giving,” she said. “The whole tragedy was a wake-up call. I want to open a fundraiser for worthy causes… I want to help everyone.”
She is also adamant that although she and her husband… played by F. Murray Abraham — to take a few comedy jokes in a Broadway show, the roles were “inspired by us, but not by who we are.”
Songmaster Stephen Schwartz thanks Siegel for being in on the joke.
“He told me I was strong enough to let them have creative control,” she said.
What if she finally manages to move into her dream home?
“I want a sequel to the documentary; everyone wants to see the house. But I'm worried about the utility bill. I'd better do another reality show.”
Then she put on a sash and tiara and went to a costume party where everyone had to come as a celebrity. She walked on her own.
“Queen of Versailles” currently in previews at the St James's Theater and opens on November 9th.
