We’re pleased to bring you this first look video of Olivier Award-winner Jenna Russell singing Another Winter In A Summer Town from the musical Grey Gardens.
Grey Gardens will receive it’s European Premiere at the Southwark Playhouse for a six week season commencing on January 2, 2016.
Based on the iconic film, with Book by Doug Wright, Music by Scott Frankel, Lyrics by Michael Korie, Grey Gardens, tells the spectacular real life rise and fall of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s aunt and cousin, Edith and Edie Bouvier Beale – played in the London première by Olivier Award winners Sheila Hancock and Jenna Russell.
Starting in 1941 at an engagement party at Grey Gardens, the Bouvier’s mansion in East Hampton, Long Island, the musical tracks the progression of the two women’s lives from American aristocrats to reclusive social outcasts living in such squalid conditions, in a home overrun by cats, that the Health Department deemed the mansion ‘unfit for human habitation’. Grey Gardens was the winner of 3 Tony awards and nominated for a further 7, along with 12 Drama Desk awards on Broadway.
