The Queen(s) of Versailles! While Kristin Chenoweth is currently starring as Jackie Siegel on Broadway, Sherie Rene Scott and Ryah Nixon are preparing to take on the title role. Scott, who will be performing in select dates, and Nixon, who serves as the understudy, united with Chenoweth in costume.
In a new TikTok, Scott and Nixon took on a recent viral TikTok trend that combines 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?" with Nicki Minaj's "Beez In The Trap." Get a first look at the pair in costume below!

They took on the trend once more in a different costume, showing two Jackie Siegels "waiting in the wings."

The pair then teamed up with Chenoweth, for a new TikTok in a dress resembling Jennifer Lopez's green Versace silk chiffon dress. Watch them pose to RuPaul's "Call Me Mother."

From computer engineer to Mrs. Florida to billionairess, Jackie Siegel sees herself as the embodiment of the American Dream. Now, as the wife of David "The Timeshare King" Siegel and mother of their eight children, they invite us to behold their most grandiose venture yet: they're building the largest private home in America in Orlando, Florida – a $100 million house big enough for her dreams and inspired by the Palace of Versailles.

The Queen of Versailles explores the true cost of fame and fortune, and one family’s pursuit of the American Dream – at any cost.
