I recently watched a documentary on Jackie Kennedy and was completely riveted by it. So, it got me thinking about a potential musical on her life and how I thought it could actually be good. Would any of you even want to see a musical on her life? Not sure who I would cast, but this show sounds like it would be a Frankel and Korie show.

wouldn't that then be a spinoff of Grey Gardens?

I could've sworn there was a musical in the UK years and years ago, but I can't find it right now.
However: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_O_(opera)

There already was a musical in NY about Jackie Kennedy about twenty-five years ago, I remember seeing it but cannot recall the name,
It was remarkably humorous but a failure.
Anyone else?

Carmen Cusack would nail this role.

Tough to pull off. She was lovely, and she is missed, but she was always so evasive, so elusive.
The Schuyler Sisters in Hamilton did make me think about the Bouvier girls, though. One bagged a President who cheated on her all the time, the other bagged a Prince and cheated on him. Maybe there's a show in that?

"Speaking of Hamilton, what about Renée Elise Goldsberry?

Was it this? Not a musical, but I think a play with music.
