2. House of Cleopatra

The charisma of Beyoncé, the influence of Oprah, and the wealth of the Kardashians - one woman had it all a millennia before them: Cleopatra.  House of Cleopatra is an all-new, toga-toting, eyeliner-filled musical extravaganza from Laura Kleinbaum and Jeff Daye, shining a palm-fringed light on history’s most famous woman.  This exhilarating, immersive new musical takes the audience on a turbulent ride down the Nile as Cleopatra’s epic reign begins to teeter on the edge of destruction.

31BC: Cleopatra is the most powerful woman the world has ever seen, hailing Egypt’s latest triumph over the Roman Republic with an extravagant celebration in honour of her lover, military leader Marc Antony.  Welcome to the House of Cleopatra, where a woman rules and the party never stops.  But Cleopatra is surrounded by treacherous men envious of her power and kingdom. Outside the city walls, Roman general Octavian lurks, and enemies from all sides plot the downfall of her dynasty – just as the party is hitting its crescendo.
