Both Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson invoked the spirits of Big and Little Eadie Bouvier Beale. It was uncanny. Had I not seen the documentary, the musical and all of its power would have been just as impressive. Ebersole's performance was a tour de force. She brought the audience to tears in the last act when, portraying middle aged Little Edie, she once again sacrifices her desires to live a self fulfilling life, and returns to the house when she hears her mother's desparate voice. Anyone who sees this musical will be effected by the unfulfilled longing of the reclusive inhabitants of Grey Gardens. It is truly the best new musical of the 21st century.
