THE INCREDIBLE MUSICAL OF JACKIE O’S MOST OUTRAGEOUS RELATIVES

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.

“To listen to GREY GARDENS is to bring to mind two phrases seldom linked nowadays: ‘Broadway musical’ and ‘artistic integrity.’ The songs, with music by Scott Frankel and lyrics by Michael Korie, sustain a level of refined language and psychological detail as elevated as Stephen Sondheim’s. The score is a meticulously fashioned piece of musical theater that gains in depth the more you listen to it.” — NY Times

“An experience no passionate theatergoer should miss.” — Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“Grey Gardens is more than a unique and unmissable musical: it’s a gift.” – Rolling Stone
“Grey Gardens is the real deal!” – New York Magazine
Grey Gardens earned five Lucille Lortel Award nominations and twelve Drama Desk Award nominations.
