The hit original musical Grey Gardens opened at the Walter Kerr Theater in New York on November 2, 2006. This production comes from Off-Broadway where it was met with acclaim from critics and won fans over with it’s intriguing acting and story. The show was so popular that the spring shows at the Playwright Horizon were extended three times and fans flocked to every show time. Grey Gardens musical tickets sell on average for around sixty dollars
Based on a 1975 cult documentary about two eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Edith Bouvier Beale and her mature daughter “Little” Edie. These two characters are the aunt and cousin for the famed “Jackie O.” Grey Gardens refers to the estate of the family in the East Hampton region. The story covers two different times of the historical mansion, the 1941 era of which the estate was in it’s peak and the 1973 time frame as it has become run down. These times also reflect on the period when the family was at the highest social prestige of the era and then the twenty years of downfall which they lost social status and literally became isolated within the 28 room mansion.
Grey Gardens – The Story
The Grey Gardens musical on Broadway takes a look at the events which led such a downfall of a respected family as well as the future of uncertainty which they faced. A look back at the amazing past which they had enjoyed and the complete fall from grace which then ensued. Focusing on how high social class family could have ended up in such a horrible place. The down right unlivable conditions they lived in when placed in isolation came to light from an article in a pop magazine which exposed the nation to these events, as well as multiple incidents with the health department.
The musical was written by Doug Wright with Scott Frankel as the composer and Michael Korie credited with the lyrics. Two of the original cast members, Christine Ebersole and Mary Louise Wilson, are featured in the Broadway show and both have won praise for their amazing roles in this production. Dorothy Brock has already been given awards for her work in Grey Gardens with the Outer Critics Award and a mentions from the New York Drama Critics Circle for her amazing roles as both the mother and the daughter in the two different eras.
The Theater
In 1921 the Walter Kerr Theater in New York was constructed for the Shubert Brothers and then known as The Ritz. The seating capacity for the venue is 945 and Grey Gardens musical tickets sell out often. The Jujamcyn Organization took ownership of the Ritz in 1980 and after investing money into a restoration on overall designs and lighting, renamed the theater the Walter Kerr. The renovations also include restoring the venue to the original colors.

the rolling stone is such a great magazine. you should try that

The magazines don't care what classes you take. Most writers did not go to college to learn to write.
Start submitting articles to the local daily and weekly newspapers in your area. It will only take 1 or 2 articles to get you involved. Call a reporter for the paper and ask if she will talk to you about your future job.
You would make $20,000 in the beginning. All writers starve. The magazines pay low wages..

Chicken and Dumplings
He likes it, he loves it, he wants some more of it! And who wouldn't? This recipe is another hit single from award-winning country music star Tim McGraw. Make this old-fashioned supper dish with a large natural or organic chicken for flavorful results.
Serving: 8
INGREDIENTS:
1 whole (4- to 5-pound) chicken, a stewing hen if available
1 onion, quartered
2 stalks celery, cut in chunks
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 sprigs fresh parsley
1 teaspoon dried whole thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1 bay leaf
2 cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon black peppercorns or 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 quarts water
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chopped onion
2 carrots, diced
1 cup diced celery
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
2 cups frozen sweet peas, defrosted and drained
1/4 cup mixed chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill and thyme
Dumplings
2 cups flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup minced green onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
DIRECTIONS:
In a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven, place chicken, quartered onion, celery stalks, garlic, herbs, cloves, salt, peppercorns and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer until chicken falls from the bones, about 1 hour. (Note: If you happen to be lucky enough to get a true stewing hen, it may take 2 1/2 to 3 hours to become tender, and you'll have lots of great flavor).
Remove chicken to cool and drain. Strain the broth, pressing firmly on solids to extract the liquid. Let broth settle then skim excess fat. Reserve broth.
Meanwhile, when chicken is cool enough to handle, tear the meat into bite-sized pieces and reserve; discard the skin and bones.
Melt butter in a soup pot and whisk in 2 tablespoons flour until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes. Whisk reserved broth into butter and flour mixture and continue whisking vigorously until sauce comes to a boil and no lumps remain. Add chopped onion, diced carrots and celery and reserved chicken. Whisk in bouillon cubes and let sauce reduce by half.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water. Whisk the slurry into the sauce and return to a boil to thicken. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
To make the dumplings: In a large bowl, quickly mix dumpling ingredients until just combined to make a loose dough. Thin with water if needed. Do not overmix. With a 1/4-cup measure, drop scant quarter-cupfuls of batter into the simmering liquid. Cover and cook without peeking for about 15 to 20 minutes or until fluffy and cooked through.
Stir in peas and chopped fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

The first thing you need to know is that it is TOUGH. Music media is a over-saturated market. I personally read a few good zines, but there are other ones, some of them quite big, that I was also a fan of and they have long ago discontinued because they run out of money/readers/coverage/respect. Most people would rather read NME, Q or Rolling Stone, stuff like that – especially as they are all free online. But there are people like me who prefer zines… there not corporate, less hype.
It'll take you a long time to earn the respect needed to gain access to bigger bands and shows. Why not try collaborating with a zine that already exists? Maybe a printed one you like in your area, or for online try one that is looking for volunteers. Of the ones I read and trust, I know that Music Vice is advertising for contributors, so maybe try them: http://musicvice.com/getinvolved.html
If you do go it alone then good luck! But think about my suggestion to try getting in touch with a magazine that already exists, because a lot of them die out because of a lack of a team, and you could get quick access to bigger shows through helping out a creditable mag.

Sounds fine in my opinion.
Are you planning to pursue just as a hobby or eventually you plan to make some income from it? If you are planning the latter then you might wanna do research for copyright purposes to make sure you don't step on anyones toes. Otherwise, go for it.
Good Luck!
