Outrageously Funny, Heartbreaking Musical

Directed by Spiro Veloudos
Musical Direction by Jonathan Goldberg, Choreography by Ilyse Robbins
New England Premiere - This riotous and touching Tony-nominated musical
tells the story of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ eccentric relatives, Big Edie Beale and
her daughter Little Edie. The two shared a dysfunctional and co-dependant relationship that
dragged them from their perch atop high society to a life of squalor and isolation as East
Hampton, Long Island’s most notorious recluses. Based on the famous documentary of
the same name, this musical offers theatrical magic: the actress who portrays the mother
in the first act takes on the role of the daughter in the second. The New York Timescalls Grey Gardens “an experience no passionate theatergoer should miss.” Running time is approximately two hours and thirty minutes including one intermission.
