Edie Beale wants desperately to live a normal life, away from her mother’s fantasy world. Her upcoming marriage to Joseph Patrick Kennedy, Jr. seems like her escape, until mother starts whispering dirty little secrets and singing another show tune. As the years go by and their fortunes crumble, Edie never leaves the family estate that faded with – and strangely fulfilled – her desires. Love, competition, loyalty and fierce independence fuel the flame that keeps mother and daughter together, becoming the town’s most famous recluses (and Jackie Kennedy’s most bizarre relatives). Staged with eccentric characters and music, music, music, this show explores control versus freedom, creativity versus conformity, and illusion versus reality.

Made possible by the generous contribution of Executive Producers Dick and Nancy Nicholson.
