Grey Gardens is based in part on Albert and David Maysles' documentary about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' eccentric aunt and cousin. This musical adaptation explores the relationship between former socialite Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, Little Edie. Covering both their earlier days at the center of high society and the later years languishing in their derelict East Hampton, New York, manor, Grey Gardens is scandalously entertaining. Propelled by a witty book, gorgeous score, intricate lyrics, and Christine Ebersole's and Mary Louise Wilson's Tony Award-winning performances, this Broadway musical has become an instant classic.
