The upcoming Broadway cast album of Stephen Schwartz and Lindsey Ferrentino's The Queen of Versailles has dropped another track. Listen to Nina White as Victoria singing "Pretty Wins" from the new score above.
The track is the second to be released ahead of the full release, on a date to be announced. Hear producer and star Kristin Chenoweth sing the show's "Caviar Dreams" here.
The musical began performances October 8 at the St. James Theatre, ahead of a November 9 opening night. The work is Schwartz' first new musical on Broadway since Wicked. Ferrentino (Amy and the Orphans) has penned the book, adapting Lauren Greenfield's 2012 documentary of the same name.

Chenoweth is starring as socialite Jacqueline "Jackie" Siegel opposite Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham as David Siegel. The work follows the couple's endeavor to build the largest private home in the country in Orlando, Florida, only for the 2008 recession to dampen their dreams and lavish lifestyle. The work made its world premiere at Boston's Emerson Colonial Theatre last year—see what critics had to say of the try-out here. Two-time Tony winner Michael Arden is at the helm.
The cast also features Melody Butiu (Here Lies Love) as Sofia, Stephen DeRosa (BOOP! The Musical) as John, Greg Hildreth (Company) as Gary, Tatum Grace Hopkins (Meek) as Jonquil, Isabel Keating (The Boy From Oz) as Debbie, and White (Kimberly Akimbo) as Victoria, all also reprising their performances from the pre-Broadway run.
