Grey GardensThe Atlanta premiere of the hit Broadway musical Grey Gardens opens Aug. 27 at Actor’s Express and tickets are on sale now. Based on the cult documentary about the eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, who live in a crumbling mansion in East Hampton called Grey Gardens, the Tony Award-winning musical is both hilarious and tragic as Big Edie and Little Edie Beal cling to each other as their sanity slips.

Tickets are $15 for previews, which run Aug. 27-29; $40 for the gala opening on Aug. 30; and $25-$37 for the run of the show, Sept. 2 – Oct. 10. Information and tickets available at www.actors-express.com.
