Grey Gardens is the Best New Musical of the season. It deserves to make a clean sweep this year at the Tonys. Will it? No. I'm glad that it has such a great fanbase.

Very cool! I'm already aching for another visit and I just saw it for the second time two weeks ago. There has never been a show where I felt the need to see it multiple times in a short period. Also, it is the first show I have ever seen more than once on Broadway.

Both times I saw it before today were in February, so I was dying to go back. I also got the new cast recording, which sounds pretty good.

I saw it for the first time tonight, and it was amazing! I absolutely loved it. You can tell though that Ebersole is absolutely exhausted - even after a week off. Her voice wasn't as strong as it is on the cast recording. But who can blame her after singing this score 8x a week?

The only t-shirt I saw was the one that said "Jerry Likes My Corn." I couldn't get anywhere near the stand.

When the show ends, they have the vending table outside the theatre.... (at least they did the other night)

Great selection !!

They need to put Matt Cavanaugh's abs on a t-shirt.

I saw it Fri. night and it was my 11th time and Christine Ebersole was awesome. I thought she sounded much stronger. Very interesting.

Testing- they do have that. It's long sleeved.

I love this show. And I stand by my opinion that Erin Davie should be nominated for the Supporting Actress Tony, even though it is a slim chance with such a season, especially one packed with bigger "names." I personally would prefer a nomination for her over Ms. Wilson. A girl can dream, right? Ms. Davie's performance is heartbreaking, and her deconstruction at the end of Act I feeds brilliantly into Ms. Ebersole's portrayal of Little Edie in Act II. I sincerely hope that her talents are not overlooked by the awards' nominating committees and voters this year.

Brilliantly said. I didn't get the opportunity to see Mary Louise, but Erin was absolutely phenomenal and I'm sad that she probably won't get her much deserved nomination.

So happy you liked it, Testing! This is the only show I've seen that I actually felt such a strong desire to see it again. I'm going back in May and I'll probably end up going a third time this summer. The show is truly, truly brilliant. I've never felt the way coming out of a theatre or been so moved by a performance as I did with Grey Gardens and Christine Ebersole. It's the best show and best performance I've ever seen on Broadway.

Are they still selling the "Little Edie Lives!" shirt? I loved that one.


I completely agree with your thoughts on Erin Davie. BRILLIANT. She has the toughest role in the show, in my opinion.

I do not think that a nomination for both Davie and Wilson would result in a split vote. Davie doesn't have a chance of winning. She won't pull any votes from Wilson, who - I believe- has it in the bag.

No, they're not. I tried ordering it when the gift shop first went online, then got a call saying they would not be making any more. I was lucky enough to find one completely by chance at the gift shop in Shubert Alley in March, though. :)
The long sleeve shirt is great- I couldn't pass it up!

Performance aside, Miss Davie is also a very sweet person. I like when "nice people" win.

Well put miss pennywise. Erin is a very nice person.

Regarding merchandise-
When are those darned programs coming in? I heard that they are indeed being made, but when will we get them?
