As alternate to Kristin Chenoweth in the 2025 Broadway musical "The Queen of Versailles," Sherie Rene Scott got to play Jackie Siegel for six performances during the brief run. Lyrics below:
"Because We Can" [JACKIE] We didn't set out to build the biggest home in America We just want the home of our dreams And thе house we're in now, although it's sweet It's only likе twenty-six thousand square feet So we're just bursting at the seams We didn't know we would need the biggest home in America That was never part of our plan; But everyone has needs to be filled Add 'em all up and we've got to build The biggest home in America Because we can! And we want the paneling looking fit for the Queen and King We just put the gold leaf out for bids And that hallway there, that's what we'll use to the family wing, so I don't lose One of my six- no, seven- kids [JACKIE, spoken] I always count the twins as one [JACKIE] And down on the floor below, that's where the spa and pool will go Two football fields is the span Stained glass on the roof and over the door We want to have the very best for The biggest home in America Because we can! ______________________________________________________ "Caviar Dreams" [JACKIE] Here lies Jackie Mallery Minimum-wage salary With a tiny life and great, big dreams She has no clue how to achieve Growing up in a town called Endwell Where the only way things end well Is if you find a way To leave Tonight, my friends'll all be hanging at the Oakdale Mall Where time moves slower than the Susquehanna It's just another Friday evening in what you could call Our slice of lower-middle-class Americana But where I wanna be seems farther than those distant stars Far from those auto lots, chain restaurants, and poolroom bars Out where another kind of lifestyle gleams With champagne wishes and caviar dreams In their humongous, fancy houses up on Hilltop Road There's people living what we call "the high life" While I'm just sitting here and feeling like I might explode Before I get to make that "high life" my life And there's this ticking here inside of me, a clock or bomb Or just a warning that I shouldn't turn into my mom Still remembering as she does the dishes Her caviar dreams and champagne wishes.
