Society mavin Elsa Maxwell and a crew of gossipy followers both comment on

hilarious in the role of Elsa Maxwell. She gets good support from the rest of
the cast, particularly Adam Matalon as her long-suffering assistant, Nigel.
The show has some excellent musical numbers and an extraordinary cast,
however, it has a tendency to ramble on. Some extraneous scenes could be cut
and it could use a bit of polish. But "Only a Kingdom" is a fascinating piece
