Grey Gardens is based on the 1975 Albert and David Maysles film about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s eccentric aunt and cousin. The touching and sometimes heart-wrenching musical adaptation explores the dysfunctional relationship between former socialite Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Little Edie, as they languish in a derelict East Hampton manor, Grey Gardens. Propelled by a fascinating story, a gorgeous score and intricate lyrics, this musical has garnered much critical praise.
