Grey Gardens…The Musical?

Jazz hands!

I love Grey Gardens. For those who don’t know, it’s a documentary film about the eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy; both named Edie Beale. A cult classic, it documents a brief time in their lives as they remain shut-ins at their run down Hampton estate.

It took me months to get this on loan from the library a few years ago, and it’s been a favorite ever since.

As interesting as it sounds, the idea of a musical about the documentary makes me wonder if it can follow through and earn some national acclaim that goes beyond the campiness.

What’s next? Picnic at Hanging Rock the Vegas dinner show?
