Grey Gardens Transfer News

According to Christine Ebersole, Grey Gardens is coming to Broadway!

I saw the show this past Wed. and afterwards I stayed after to get my Playbill signed. When I was talking to Christine, I asked her if the show would be transfered because it would be such a shame for a brilliant show like Grey Gardens to close for no good reason. Honest to god, she said directly to me after the show that a Broadway transfer IS going to happen. I had talked to Sara before and she said that was the buzz but she hadn’t heard anything definite. But Ebersole said it is going to be transferred to Broadway, no ifs ands or buts. Trust me, I was ecstatic!

I say from her lips to god’s ears!

I am sorry I have no article to prove it but this was strictly her words to me. I do have pictures I took with both Sara and Christine after the show so you can see that I did in fact talk to them:




I was nervous about posting this without an article as some people may think I was making it up but after talking with a few people on the board, I would like to keep die-hard Grey Gardens fans like myself posted. I am so anxious for a official announcement, hopefully one will come soon.

I would very much like to recommend that Matt Cavenaugh lose much of his clothing during the move.

Sleeper2....I was lucky enough to see him do that in "Dorian" when it was playing here in Denver! I saw the show 3 times!

I'll say the Barrymore...

I am seeing it Saturday night, I will probe for more info...

Any move to the Barrymore or Cort means that the show is eligible for 2007 awards. It's too late for '06.

I don't think Grey Gardens would open on Broadway before next spring. Any number of houses might be available by then.

Anywhere but the Cort.

I really do hope it is true. If it makes it to broadway I will see if for sure. As of now, I have no opportunity to.

Hurrah! I was so upset about missing it!

If the wait too long, the buzz around the show will die down. However, they can't just hurry and shove the show into an empty theater. I think by the time the '07 Tonys come around, I think the show will be long forgotten. She's getting all her praise now, and they should ride on that.

Rentboy,

Ebersole's reviews would win her a Tony in any season. There is no need to worry that she will be "forgotten." If anything, hopefully the writing team will take the time to go away and make the changes to the actual script that reviewers complained about.

It would be much wiser to wait and open this show on Broadway in the spring. This is not a show that should brave the winter audience drought in NYC without a few Tonys under its belt.

That's great. I'm kicking myself for having missed the off-Broadway run, but alas I can only afford student tickets.
