WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
From cult film to cult musical! Behind the closed doors of a dilapidated mansion, alongside fifty cats and piles of rubbish, live two bizarre and beautiful women who just happen to be the cousins of Kennedy. Based on the groundbreaking documentary by David Albert Maysles, Grey Gardens features a book by Doug wright, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of I Am My Own Wife. The Studio Theatre's production directed by Associate Artistic Director, Serge Seiden, reimagines this major musical for an intimate space.

Studio Theatre is not able to bring out the best in Doug Wright, Michael Korie and Scott Frankel's Broadway musical Grey Gardens, and the result feels like little more than a melodramatic chronicle of two members of American aristocracy, "Big Edith" and "Little Edie" Beale, who descend into squalid grotesqueness in Grey Gardens, an East Hampton mansion. Not even vividly effective production qualities, several affecting songs, and some pleasant performances can make this a fully worthwhile evening in the theater.
