hey ariana!

Little Edie was absolutely thrilled that they were making her life story into a musical. She wrote about it.

Fabulous, I saw this on Broadway twice and can't wait for it to open in London, Christine ebersole is awesome

the voice is spot on

The woman is brilliant. Christine Ebersole wins at life.

Holy Crap! Christine Ebersole totally nailed Little Edie on the head. She is fabulous.

living on long island, i can tell you that's exactly what we sound like

UNBELIEVABLE !!!!

I feel sad that Little Edie never found true love, she had so much to give, such enthusiasm, vitality and an enchantingly childlike joix de vivre which was never satiated. By the time her mother died, she'd developed such a distrust and cautious approach that she continued to distance herself from most people, which is a real shame. These women weren't crazy at all, just non-conforming eccentrics.

Her performance is SPOT ON, lol!

I saw this in NYC and it was really fantastic. Totally unlike any musical I've seen. Christine Ebersole was wonderful. If you have seen the whole show with her in it you have some idea the magnitude of the the role. This is only a small piece.

Pure genius. Christine Ebersole is the queen of Broadway.

i love this show!!!!!!!!!

The transition she makes from Big Edie and Little Edie is amazing.

WOW! She really captures the essence of Little Edie. Too bad she's not alive to see this. I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it.

I saw the show in New York. Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson were GREAT!!!! If you can, see the show when it opens on Broadway!

Christine Ebersol nails it!!! Perfection.

Staggering! Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson make GREY GARDENS the triumph of the Broadway season. If you haven't seen it: GO!!!

this documentary is awesome.

this woman needs to star in the movie!!!!!!

what a flawless actress...she's so real

I re-visited the Grey Gardens DVD yesterday. I think the beauty of Christine's performance is that she didn't try to impersonate or mimic Little Edie in every respect (her speaking voice is fairly different), but nevertheless perfectly captures her spirit.

This actually makes the movie more understandable.

Actually in the documentary scene upon which this number is based, little Edie is wearing all black. Don't worry, she also has a number with the American flag in which she is decked out in red. Both Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson as Big Edie are scary good!

fucking AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I wish this was still showing in NY. Waa.

Imagine if Edie got a hold of Multiples...those pants,shirts head band skirt things...from the 80's

I Love it!

I saw the play in Boston a few months ago. It was quite good. Would love to see the musical. The movie was great also, I think drew should have picked up a prize for her performance.

Never to be equaled.

I'm soo gonna see this! Da da da da dum!

If you want to see a totally awesome Little Edie impression then check out Jinkx Monsoon on Rupaul's Drag Race, the Snatch Game. You will be impressed I promise!

This song has the melody from YOUR FAULT from INTO THE WOODS

OMG she does look like her~ and sounds like her as well~

my my aren't we the expert!

You mean Harvey Fierstien. Yes, he was the original Edna Turnblad in the Broadway musical of Hairspray, althouth sainstskittles is right in saying that Divine was Edna in the original 1980s movie and that Harvey Fierstein was in 'Mrs. Doubtfire'.

Like nickbigd said, the scene in the film where Little Edie is describing her "revolutionary costume" she wears an ensemble similar to what Ebersole is seen wearing in this clip. However, it's a dark brown color, not black.

Dummy: It's a musical. I HATE musicals, however, this (and the other bits I have withdrawn from this site) captures more dialogue and spirit from the Maysles doc than I ever dreamed possible. I, for one, am delighted. Let's just hope that the Hollywood version DOAs.

its a shame little edies not getting royaltys on this..the jokes and quips are little edies own words! rip miss farmington!

little edie was so tragic her mother ruined her life, but she let her mother do it

Does anyone know if Grey Gardens is coming back on Broadway? I never got a chance to see it and I really want too!!!!!

"It's a mean nasty Republican town" (cut to unamused Republicans) haha

At 4:00, in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, is that Jim Dale??

A sobriquet is a nickname or a fancy name, sometimes assumed, but often given by another.

I have my bachelors in piano performance and pedagogy. Man, is this piano score difficult to execute. We recently performed this at a local theatre. I was Gould Strong and actually had to play some on stage...but the pit orchestra/rehearsal piano part..Haha! Just look at the pianist go in the back. It was difficult but a blast. I love this musical. So many memories.

It's rare that tere's real acting (which means living it) in musicals. It's usually this heightend 'let's break into song and dance' bullshit.

staggering

were you involved with the workshop?

This reminds me of Acorn Antiques. Why?

Little Edie is no longer.

beautiful voice, don't i dont understand the words.. :$ she speaks to... to... how do you say that? understandable?

Wow - I've put off watching this for a while; I was afraid they'd ruin the amazing movie and characteurize the two Edie's, but I can't believe how great Christine is.

sadly

You people know NOTHING about musicals. Just because it's a musical doesn't mean the story is used for laughs, there are plenty of genuinely tragic moments in the show. Even this number isn't MAINLY about laughs, as much as about Edie's personality and fashion sense.

um... Little Edie is a born and bred Long Island girl. What's your point?

The accent is a little off (too tight, and the medial R's are too strong), but the cadence is dead on. But why doesn't she wear a bright scarf? I haven't seen the production but little Edie always wore bright scarves.

Sondheim didn't write this.

Once again, Hollywood is on crack.

Unfortunately Drew Barrymore will be little Edie to Jessica Lange's big Edie.

Shut up. It actually sounds a lot like her... o.o

Just watch the documentary. This is naff.

@WLKCONSULTING The reason these women were so unique was because they came from a wealthy, socially elite background which they rebelled against, you cannot compare their story with any other and your attempt to play the 'race card' is inappropriate and cheap.

The voice is nothing like her !

I'm a huge GG fan, but I do not like Christine Ebersol's interpretation at all -

THE MOVIE GREY GARDENS WASNT .... it should have been a play... musicals are garbage when they do shit like this

i really didnt like this. i feel bad for luittle edie. but i guews people will make fun of unqie individuals

sucked? hopefully more of your life is continually stolen throughout the day. this was excellent singing.

you no that's kinda sad--there making fun of little Edie----no like.

Little Edie knew a musical was being made about her life and was excited about it. I don't think she would've taken a whole lot of offense from this.

BOOO get a job

she doesn't get the accent right. drew got it right. CE's is just annoying.

Just pathetic...ugh

I agree. Mental illness is not something campy or funny like the NY freak theater world seems to think. How sick and exploitive.

"Naff"? I'm assuming you are British and have not had the joy of seeing this. Ms. Eberseole's performance is anything but "naff."

Where's Drew Barrymore when you need her? This is TERRIBLE

Eileen D I Agee ! They are making a mockery of the Beales .Little Edie was a great gal. this makes me sad.
