MY INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL KORIE
As a musician, and someone who knows Grey Gardens The Musical rather obsessively, my interview with the musical's Tony nominated lyricist, Michael Korie was one I really looked forward to. I literally spend hours reviewing my "copies" of both the off broadway production and the broadway production, familiarizing myself with the music, lyrics, and dialog, so I could create a line of questioning that was from a different angle than other interviews I had read. I wanted to focus on just how this show came together and more importantly how it evolved from it's earliest days at the Theatre division of the Sundance Institute to the off broadway production at Playwrights Horizons to the broadway previews, and finally the broadway production. There were some major changes along that journey, and I found them fascinating. I think Michael knew I had done my homework, as we had several lengthy and very interesting conversations. I'm not all that sure that the casual audience would find all this information that interesting, BUT for those who are really into this show, really into anything Grey Gardens, I think this is a very special interview. SO, for all you true fans click below for my full interview.
