About the Show

A cabaret-style show led by four Black women who share their experiences of misogyny.

Nouveau Riche's 'Queens of Sheba' is inspired by an incident in which a group of women was turned away from a nightclub for being "too black". The women share their uplifting stories about confronting racism and sexism in a production that uniquely incorporates music, poetry, and a cappella singing.

Following sell-out runs in 2021 and 2023, 'Queens of Sheba' returns to Soho Theatre for a limited run.

This production is recommended for ages 16+.
