Broadway and Beyond: NYC News and Notes

By Andy Propst; AmericanTheaterWeb.com 23rd May 2006

Broadway will have a new musical this fall. "Grey Gardens" - the hit that ran off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons this spring - has announced that it will open at the Walter Kerr on Broadway in October. This musical which tells the tale of Jacqueline Kennedy's eccentric aunt and cousin sold out its often-extended run off-Broadway. Christine Ebersole, who plays the aunt in the first act which is set in the 1940s, and then, the cousin as an older woman in the second act (set in the 1970s), has won critical and popular acclaim for her performance in addition to numerous awards. You're not going to want to miss this exciting new piece of musical theater.
