OUTER CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD BEST OFF-BROADWAY MUSICAL 2006
FIRST POST-BROADWAY PRODUCTION
Nominated for ten Tony Awards, this hilarious but heartbreaking Broadway hit chronicles the fall of American royalty: Jacqueline Kennedy’s notorious relatives, Edith and Edie Bouvier Beale. In a scandalously beguiling musical about love, loss, and eccentricity at the heights of society, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Doug Wright chronicles their journey from giddy fortune in the ’40s to seclusion in the ’70s, a bittersweet saga of roads not taken and dreams left unfulfilled. “An experience no passionate theatergoer should miss.” The New York Times
“over-the-top brilliance” The Mercury News
