#1Grey Gardens question (for those who saw it off Broadway)
Posted: 2/27/07 at 9:44pm

I just got the off-Broadway recording of Grey Gardens, and there's something I was wondering. In the Broadway show, Joe gets angry about Edie's "Body Beautiful Beale" nickname. On the off-Broadway recording, he seems to be okay with it. What sets him off then, that he needs to talk to Mr. Beale?

I hope that made sense, and thanks in advance.

Joe does not know the origin of the name until Edith tells him how it came to be. Off bway, he just assumes it is a fun nickname, but the same scene as broadway takes place where Edith tells him the pool story.


...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...
