The cast features Equity actor Maryann Nagel in the dual role of Edith Bouvier Beale (circa 1941 in Act One) and daughter “Little” Edie (circa 1973 in Act Two) and Lenne Snively as the aging Edith in Act Two.

The supporting cast includes students from the Baldwin-Wallace musical theatre program.

2007 three-time Tony Award winner. Scandalously entertaining, Grey Gardens brings to life the alternately hilarious and heartbreaking story of two indomitable women, Edith Bouvier Beale and her adult daughter 'Little' Edie – the delightfully eccentric aunt and cousin of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, in Broadway's acclaimed musical smash hit with music composed by Cleveland native, Scott Frankel. Once among the brightest names in the pre-Camelot social register, these two women became East Hampton’s most notorious recluses and Jackie O’s most scandalous relatives
