Grey Gardens
If there were a competition to create a Broadway musical based on the least likely source material, Grey Gardens might be the winner. The show is adapted from the 1975 documentary that followed the reclusive aunt and cousin of Jackie O. Christine Ebersole, the star of Grey Gardens—the musical—and the show’s composer Scott Frankel explain to Kurt Andersen why this story continues to fascinate audiences.
