## History

### 2019 Workshop

In May 2019, a workshop concert was announced as a campaign for a full production the following the year. The cast consisted of Zoe Adoniou (Aragon), Allison Dorsey (Boleyn), Madison Good (Seymour), Olivia Buckley (Cleves), and Sachi Badola (Parr). Three performances were held and a shortened version of the show was performed in the style of a concert with each Queen just performing their songs with minimal dialogue in between. At the final performance it was announced the show was picked up and would turn into a full production, with an opening scheduled for September that same year.

### 2019-20

In August 2019 the cast, dates and tickets were released for the official production. Most of the original workshop cast returned with Mary Hamilton replacing Good as Seymour, and Delaney Schiefen, Lyla El-Gamel, and Jillian Schena joining the cast as alternates for the principal cast. The production opened on September 13, 2019, with performances happening every weekday with the exception of major holidays. On March 13, 2020, it was announced the production would be suspended for two weeks due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was then postponed for another month with performances scheduled to resume in May. In late April the remainder of the production was cancelled. Buckley, DeWitt, and Schiefen announced they would not return to the production once it reopened.

### 2020-21

In August 2020, it was announced the production would not reopen in September as planned due to COVID-19 singing and performance restrictions, but it was noted they would reopen as soon as possible. Casting was done via self-tapes however it was kept private as it was possible the production would not open at all. In early March 2021, restrictions were relaxed and the show would begin performances in April. Adoniou, Dorsey, Hamilton, Badola, and Schena all returned in their respective roles with Lyla El-Gamel taking over as Howard and Maya Chan and Georgia Horan joining as alternates. The production closed less than two months later on June 12, 2021. Adoniou, Dorsey, Hamilton and Chan departed the show on its closing date.

### 2021-22

At the final performance for the 2021 production it was announced that the production would reopen in September for a third season. Nhyira Nkansah joined the production as Aragon; Schena and Horan took over as Boleyn and Seymour, respectively; Sophia Roy, Kiki Deutschmann, and Jackie Pottle joined as alternates; and Daigle, El-Gamel, and Badola reprised their roles. The production was initially supposed to close on June 11, 2022, however the last 4 performances were rescheduled one week later due to half the cast being out with COVID-19. The production finally closed on June 18, 2022, with Schena, Daigle, El-Gamel, Badola, and Pottle departing the show.

### 2022-23

The show returned for a fourth season on September 9, 2022. The cast consisted of Maya Belmonte (Cleves), Madeleine Gaffney (Howard), Shreya Madhu (Parr); Nkansah and Horan reprising their roles as Aragon and Seymour, respectively; Roy returning as an alternate; and Mads Meehan and Karen Khela joining as alternates.
