This is totally brilliant... I loved the original documentary...and I think this is very true to the spirit of it.. Great lyrics, great tunes fantastic understated performance...I love it!!!! witty witty witty....
I feel sad that Little Edie never found true love, she had so much to give, such enthusiasm, vitality and an enchantingly childlike joix de vivre which was never satiated. By the time her mother died, she'd developed such a distrust and cautious approach that she continued to distance herself from most people, which is a real shame.
These women weren't crazy at all, just non-conforming eccentrics.
Wow - I've put off watching this for a while; I was afraid they'd ruin the amazing movie and characteurize the two Edie's, but I can't believe how great Christine is.
WLKCONSULTING: The difference is this.This family lived in a very well appointed mansion, was well educated, & had been the toast of society in the Hamptons before they fell into ruin--you can't really make that comparison fairly. The journey is completely different...besides, "Precious," released recently, while not exactly a musical, has dance numbers when Precious goes into her mind to escape her life in Harlem...and THAT is a hit movie. I find the characters in both are utterly fascinating.
When we see crazy white people living in filth, you call it eccentric and make a musical about it. Society sees black people living like this and they are called crack heads. The police are called and the only music you hear is the theme song to COPS
Very true, WLKCONSULTING. But even If this musical was about an eccentric black or white person's "mind escape" to Harlem or where ever - and who didn't come from the type of background "Little Edie" came from - do you think people would come and see this?
@WLKCONSULTING The reason these women were so unique was because they came from a wealthy, socially elite background which they rebelled against, you cannot compare their story with any other and your attempt to play the 'race card' is inappropriate and cheap.
I saw the play in Boston a few months ago. It was quite good. Would love to see the musical. The movie was great also, I think drew should have picked up a prize for her performance.
"...even though I won a Tony award for Best Actress in a Musical, business has been very slow. In fact: nonexistent. We're gone! Mary Louise Wilson, who plays my mother warned me about doing obscure and intellectual shows like 'Grey Gardens'-- she wanted me to revive 'Mame.' We had quite a fight."
I saw this in NYC and it was really fantastic. Totally unlike any musical I've seen. Christine Ebersole was wonderful. If you have seen the whole show with her in it you have some idea the magnitude of the the role. This is only a small piece.
It wasn't that she was insane or crazy. She was "an acquired taste" just like her mother said in the documentary. She was ecclectic and wonderful. I love it. Drew Barrymore does great in the movie.
Little Edie traveled and passed away in Bal Harbour Florida, whether she was sane or not doesnt matter any more, Im glad to see the hbo movie its perfect for mothers day. I dont know if I feel terrible or glad either way Im grateful to see two people who loved each other so much they actually didnt need anybody else, I wiish life was that simple.
I'm so hurt to think that Big and Lil Edie died and after the documentary and everything, they didn't even give them any money let alone visit them. And till this day they are still making money off their story yet they died in poverty. SO SAD
little edie didn't die in poverty. she got a LOT of money from the sale of grey gardens after her mother died. so she lived out the end of her life quite happy.
No one is making fun of Edie. WAKE UP!! This is an homage. Go read the books and see how both the Edie's welcomed the documentary film into their lives. They loved the exposure. The documentary, the film and the musical celebrate their artistic natures. Don't be stupid.
You people know NOTHING about musicals. Just because it's a musical doesn't mean the story is used for laughs, there are plenty of genuinely tragic moments in the show. Even this number isn't MAINLY about laughs, as much as about Edie's personality and fashion sense.
YOU can't make a musical out of a fantastic documentary like gray gardens. NOT FUNNY at all! i can't believe this was done. who ever did this is sick and stupid.
Everyone calm down about people laughing, I don't think everyone in the audience understands that Edie had a mental illness, etc, etc. And you can't say everything is tragic, you can't look at things so dismally, you have to laugh sometimes.
THIS IS DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!! How could someone make fun of this? Whoever wrote this ridiculous musical is sick minded. lil Edie is a tragic woman who was cheated of a wonderful life. I cannot believe that they would do this to her, as if her mother didnt do enough to hurt her....
i still dont agree with it. I mean i know that you should take some things with a grain of salt..but her story really touched me and i feel really sorry for her.
Ebersol's ass is too big for the role of Little Edie, as she was fit and petite. This is all very sick nonetheless. Let's all laugh at the crazies - yeah, reeeel funny not.,
I know what you mean...I don't know how I feel a bout them turning "Little Edie" into a song/comedic act especially since she may or may not have had mental problems....but maybe little edie would be flattered by this?? who knows.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
why does she have to break out in song... why cant she play the fucking character... this type of conformist shit drives me nuts... it cheapens the eccentricity of little edie and frankly it pisses me off
Dummy: It's a musical. I HATE musicals, however, this (and the other bits I have withdrawn from this site) captures more dialogue and spirit from the Maysles doc than I ever dreamed possible. I, for one, am delighted. Let's just hope that the Hollywood version DOAs.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow, that accent is so off. she sounds like mike meyers doing coffee talk. completely, completely not what upper-class native hamptonites sound like. has she even seen the documentary? did she notice that edie's accent was nothing like this?
You mean Harvey Fierstien. Yes, he was the original Edna Turnblad in the Broadway musical of Hairspray, althouth sainstskittles is right in saying that Divine was Edna in the original 1980s movie and that Harvey Fierstein was in 'Mrs. Doubtfire'.
have to admit I was a little upset to hear this was going to broadway as I thought there was NO WAY they could do it justice ! What a pleasent shock that they pulled it off !
Oh Christine...she's amazing but she was a total bitch to work with when this project was in development. And Scott FRANCO!!! LOVE HIM!!! That man is a GOD at the piano!

I had the priveledge of seeing Christine Ebersole and Company perform Grey Gardens twice. What an awesome experience. It was said by one admirer that a short run by an awesome cast leaves priveledged people who have seen the art of theater before their eyes, and I am one of them in seeing Grey Gardens.
I love Christine Ebersole...I swear, I love you, Laura Bell Bundy, but if you win the Tony over her I'll send you awful hate mail! (Totally kidding. There will be no hate mail, but I'll be disappointed.)
Oh, how i wish I lived in NY. I have long loved the documentary and Ebersole looks and sounds PERFECT here. I'll be watching the Tony's. Best of luck to her and the whole team behind the show.
I re-visited the Grey Gardens DVD yesterday. I think the beauty of Christine's performance is that she didn't try to impersonate or mimic Little Edie in every respect (her speaking voice is fairly different), but nevertheless perfectly captures her spirit.
I sat in the front row and saw it last Sunday afternoon. I was blown away. and YES she will win the Tony. This is the best ORIGINAL musical theatre to come around in years where all we see are Disney movies to the stage and the old tried and true in revival. The producers took a gamble on this won and won big. Look for it at the TONYS this year to sweep as it should.
Fantastic. Saw the Broadway show this week and can't stop listening to the soundtrack, re-watching the film, and looking on youtube for videos. Best theater experience I've had since original Sweeney Todd.
Actually in the documentary scene upon which this number is based, little Edie is wearing all black. Don't worry, she also has a number with the American flag in which she is decked out in red. Both Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson as Big Edie are scary good!
Like nickbigd said, the scene in the film where Little Edie is describing her "revolutionary costume" she wears an ensemble similar to what Ebersole is seen wearing in this clip. However, it's a dark brown color, not black.
The accent is a little off (too tight, and the medial R's are too strong), but the cadence is dead on. But why doesn't she wear a bright scarf? I haven't seen the production but little Edie always wore bright scarves.

I re-visited the Grey Gardens DVD yesterday. I think the beauty of Christine's performance is that she didn't try to impersonate or mimic Little Edie in every respect (her speaking voice is fairly different), but nevertheless perfectly captures her spirit.

"Naff"? I'm assuming you are British and have not had the joy of seeing this. Ms. Eberseole's performance is anything but "naff."

I recently saw Grey Gardens on Broadway after being a fan of the documentary. She is pure brilliance everyone should see the show:)

I sat in the front row and saw it last Sunday afternoon. I was blown away. and YES she will win the Tony. This is the best ORIGINAL musical theatre to come around in years where all we see are Disney movies to the stage and the old tried and true in revival. The producers took a gamble on this won and won big. Look for it at the TONYS this year to sweep as it should.

Fantastic. Saw the Broadway show this week and can't stop listening to the soundtrack, re-watching the film, and looking on youtube for videos. Best theater experience I've had since original Sweeney Todd.

Actually in the documentary scene upon which this number is based, little Edie is wearing all black. Don't worry, she also has a number with the American flag in which she is decked out in red. Both Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson as Big Edie are scary good!

Like nickbigd said, the scene in the film where Little Edie is describing her "revolutionary costume" she wears an ensemble similar to what Ebersole is seen wearing in this clip. However, it's a dark brown color, not black.

The accent is a little off (too tight, and the medial R's are too strong), but the cadence is dead on. But why doesn't she wear a bright scarf? I haven't seen the production but little Edie always wore bright scarves.
