although it's been two years, Little Edie knew about the musical and was excited about it! unfortunately she passed away before the first official production took place
Are you referring to the very beginning, when 1970's Big Edie is talking to an unseen Little Edie (Christine)? If so, I was curious about this as well (I never saw the show). It seems like there's either an issue going on that temp. took away her attention or she forgot her lines? But hey, it wouldn't be live theater without a mishap or two and it was a quick recovery. It's pretty amazing Christine is able to switch from Little Edie voice in the intro, and seconds later be playing an entirely different character (1930s Big Edie) & singing opera. I wish I could have seen this live, I'm blown away by the talent!
I love that people are complaining about the recording quality on an illegal video. You get what you get get folks.
That's what we call..."Classy"...
This was filmed 6.12.2007 - the first performance after Mary Louise Wilson and Christine Ebersole both won Tony Awards.
WONDERFUL! The intro gives me chills. (both versions)
this was the first performance after both actresses (Wilson and Ebersole) won Tony Awards.
Thanks for putting this up on UA-cam
The girl playing young Jackie is Sarah Hyland from Modern Family! Fun fact.
Thank you SO very much for this.
I can't wait to meet the rest of our cast from the StageWorks Fresno summer production!
Big Edie and Little Edie's story is TRAGIC. In no way is making a musical paying tribute to a story of shattered dreams.

This looks like an amazing performance. I'm
Id like to think that they can and are very happy .
Is there something happening to the side or is the actress playing the part of Little Edie really screwing up?
