Show Notes
Welcome aboard as we journey through the enchanting musical landscape of Grey Gardens, guided by none other than Alexis Michelle, Drag Superstar from RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars Season 8. Get ready to be captivated by the eccentric tale of Big Edie and Little Edie, relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, immersed in their own peculiar world of charm and chaos. Alexis shares intriguing insights into her history with the musical and how the current Revival of Chicago has significantly influenced her movement and drag style.
Our voyage takes us deeper into the heart of Grey Gardens, as we dissect its intriguing story, set against the backdrop of the 1940s. Expect a wealth of wisdom as we delve into the significance of the songs and discuss how they can be interpreted or even omitted in the face of today's social dynamics. Edifying discussions around the original off-Broadway production, Alexis's personal Broadway experience, and the importance of other significant musicals like Spring Awakening and Piazza, make for an engaging experience.
