ESTHER The Queen\n
musical<\/span>\n \n <\/path>\n <\/svg>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/h1>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

ESTHER The Queen is a 2 act climactic musical written in the style of a Broadway Opera.\n
Think Les Mis. Think Disney and Phantom of the Opera. Think Tim Rice and Elton John’s Aida.\n
Think ESTHER The Queen.\n

– Have you wanted to be singing the songs before getting up out of your chair at intermission?\n
– Do you want to be moved and inspired by an incredible story?\n
– Have you wondered how an orphaned refugee born into obscurity became the Queen of the Persian Empire?\n
\n
This is the story of ESTHER The Queen and the King who chose to honor her.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
