About the Show

Set to an original high-octane pop and EDM score, Theater for the New City's immersive musical gives history's most mysterious ruler the final word.

The charisma of Beyoncé, the influence of Oprah, and the wealth of Melinda. One woman had it all first: Cleopatra. Tonight she's throwing one of her legendary parties to celebrate Egypt's latest triumph over Rome, and you, her royal subjects, are invited to indulge. But outside the city walls the alluring Marc Antony beckons, the nefarious Octavian lurks, and enemies plot her dynasty's end. The queen better watch her back!

"Get ready for sweaty gyrations, the 70’s disco craze and an all out party...This exhilarating immersive musical traces history’s most mysterious ruler and mixes historical drama with an enveloping spectacle that will leave Cleopatra’s guests guessing and grooving all night long...The book is entertaining enough if not a little generic but it is a lark...Leon and Horenstein have staged the show as if it were a bacchanal and it feels like the heyday of Studio 54."
