Bay Street Update
Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor has announced that the musical “Grey Gardens” will be part of its 2015 Mainstage season, with a run from July 28 through Aug. 30. Based on the 1975 documentary film by Albert and David Maysles about Big Edie and Little Edie Bouvier Beale, the show has a book by Doug Wright, music by Scott Frankel, and lyrics by Michael Korrie. Casting and the creative team will be announced at a later date, as will next summer’s other productions.
In the meantime, Bay Street will be celebrating the holidays this weekend with “Mixed Nuts: A Classic Holiday Nutcracker . . . With a Twist,” a musical theater piece presented by Studio 3, the Bridgehampton dance company. Performances of the “mash-up of holiday books” will take place tomorrow at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 1 and 7 p.m. Tickets, which can be purchased by calling 537-3008, are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. For senior citizens and children 10 and under, the tariff is $15 in advance, $20 at the door.
“The Vendettas: A Rock and Roll Holiday Spectacular” will keep the theater hopping on Sunday evening with a performance by a trio known for its interpretation of 1950s jukebox hits, Rockabilly classics, and, for this show, rocking holiday tunes.
The Holiday Horns, Mike Ryan, a pianist, and Erin Doherty, a vocalist, are also on the program, which Bay Street recommends as a great holiday event for the entire family. Tickets, which are $15, are available at baystreet.org or by calling the theater’s box office.
