This event is organized by Chris Allen, a GLOSS member, for the Air
Products Retiree Organization - although ALL are welcome!!!
A note from Chris:
This is the greatest thing on Broadway and is sold out in NYC for
quite some time. We are NON-PROFIT and make no money on the trip and
we all pay the same rate - hence the reasonable price.
I already have the tickets - they are FRONT MEZZ - CENTER! Beautiful
seats for this "eccentric/crazy" show!
If you would please pass this email onto anyone who might be
interested - we would be eternally grateful!
We leave the APCI lot at 8:30 a.m. - and leave the theatre after the
show to come home - no stops either way.
Reservations will be on a first come ? first served basis.
The Off-Broadway musical tale of misfit mother-daughter socialites who
brushed up against greatness, moves to Broadway!
Following a SOLD-OUT run Off-Broadway audiences will now have the
chance to see this intriguing musical! Starring Tony-Award Winner
Christine Ebersole and Mary-Louise Wilson, who THRILLED critics and
audiences alike with their deeply felt impersonations on Long Island
socialite Edith Bouvier Beale.
Ebersole earned raves from critics ? and a basket of nominations and
awards ? for playing Edith?s mentally-addled grown daughter, Little
Edie, in Act Two. Already awarded and praised for her turn(s), it
would seem that the 2007 Tony Award ? a year from now ? might easily
find its way to her mantle. The musical is inspired by the 1975 film
documentary of the same name, which charted the broken women?s lives
as they clattered around the shambles of a mansion that had once seen
grand parties.
Grey Gardens concerns both the deliciously eccentric aunt and cousin
of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, who were once among the brightest names
in the pre-Camelot social register, but became East Hampton?s most
notorious recluses, living in a dilapidated 28-room mansion. Set in
two eras ? in 1941 when the estate was in its prime and in 1973 when
it was reduced to squalor-the musical tells the alternatively
hilarious and heartbreaking story of two indomitable individuals,
Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter ?Little Edie.?
