Set in the opulent yet perilous Persian Empire, QUEEN ESTHER is a captivating tale of beauty and bravery. Esther’s ordinary life changed forever when she was taken through the palace doors, entering a new world of royalty and risk.

FUN FACTS

Auditions for the 45-member cast drew applicants from across the country and around the globe.

The Palace is the single largest moving set piece ever built by Sight & Sound. It’s approximately 70 feet wide, 41 feet deep and 37 feet tall.

QUEEN ESTHER includes a custom backdrop, made up of 10 individually printed fabric panels, that wrap around the stage behind the city of Susa. Combined the piece is 482 feet long, the total of almost 5 football fields.

The musical underscore for QUEEN ESTHER was recorded in Prague (Czech Republic), Los Angeles, and Lisbon (Portugal).

QUEEN ESTHER features 346 costume designs for 959 costumes and 3,210 costume pieces. Sight & Sound seamstresses sewed 13,000 snaps by hand and used 24,000 yards of fabric. That’s enough fabric to wrap the theater 90 times around.

QUEEN ESTHER will include two Afghan Hounds who will serve as Queen Esther’s pets. Other animals include camels, llamas, donkeys, miniature horses, macaws that fly over the audience, and more!
