TOVAH FELDSHUH returns to the Pompano Beach Cultural Center in a thrilling show featuring highlights from the new Broadway-bound musical Queen of Mean, based on the New York Times best-selling biography by Piers Ransdell!

Watch the Queen of Mean become the Queen of Cabaret as Tovah takes the stage as Leona Helmsley, commenting on and singing about everything from her meteoric rise – to her Real Estate rival Donald Trump. Queen of Mean is billed as a “rollicking and emotionally gripping portrait of Leona Helmsley,” depicting the “Faustian rise-and scandalous fall from grace-of the notorious Manhattan hotelier.” Tovah – or, Leona – promises to bring you an evening of fun, frolic, and foreclosure you won’t want to miss!
