Once among the brightest names in the pre-Camelot social register, the deliciously eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis are now East Hampton’s most notorious recluses, living in a dilapidated 28 room mansion. Facing an uncertain future, Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter, “Little” Edie, are forced to revisit their storied past and come to terms with it - for better and for worse.

“Please welcome another first-class clairvoyant to the swelling ranks of those who dazzle by channeling dead celebrities on the stage and screen. Ms. Ebersole's performance is one of the most gorgeous ever to grace a musical.”
