With the run of the Playwrights Horizons musical Grey Gardens sold out through the previously-announced closing date of March 26th, the theatre is extending the smash show about eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy for two weeks through April 9th.
Grey Gardens began previews at the Playwrights Horizons Mainstage Theater on February 10th and will open on March 7th at 7 PM. Currently in previews, the show's creators are refining Grey Gardens before its opening.With a book by Doug Wright (I Am My Own Wife), composer Scott Frankel and lyricist Michael Korie, will also co-star Tony Award-winner Christine Ebersole (Steel Magnolias, 42nd Street) and Mary Louise Wilson (The Women, Cabaret), as well as Sara Gettelfinger (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Nine), Matt Cavenaugh (Urban Cowboy), Sarah Hyland (Paper Mill Playhouse's Annie), six-time Tony Award-nominee John McMartin (Sweet Charity, Follies), Michael Potts (Lennon), two-time Tony Award-nominee Bob Stillman (Grand Hotel) and Audrey Twitchell. Tony Award-nominee Michael Greif (Rent) directs."Grey Gardens concerns the deliciously eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who were once among the brightest names in the pre-Camelot social register, and are now East Hampton's most notorious recluses, living in a dilapidated 28-room mansion. Facing an uncertain future, Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter, 'Little' Edie, are forced to revisit their storied past and come to terms with it — for better, and for worse," according to Playwrights Horizons notes.
