It is based on the 2012 documentary of the same name directed by Lauren Greenfield about Jackie and David Siegel, owners of Westgate Resorts, who are building a gigantic mansion, Versailles, in central Florida.

[1] The musical premiered at Emerson Colonial Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts in July and August 2024, starring Kristin Chenoweth and F. Murray Abraham.

In central Florida, just as the housing bubble bursts and the 2008 financial crisis nearly bankrupts them, Jackie and David Siegel, are building a gigantic mansion named and modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France.

As the Great Recession strikes, construction on the house is halted and the entire staff is let go, other than the Siegels' longtime driver and nanny.

[5] In Variety, Bob Verini called the show Chenoweth's "richest opportunity to date to flex her dramatic muscles [and] the most emotionally affecting score, bar none, of [Schwartz's] long career"; he praised the musical's "sociopolitical critique", Chenoweth, Abraham ("staggeringly good") White, Butiu and the designers, but noted that the long "piece begs to be tightened".
