Top 10 Everything 2006
TIME names the year's best in arts and entertainment
The Maysles Brothers' 1975 documentary, about two nutty relatives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis living in East Hampton squalor, wouldn't seem like much to build a musical out of. But writer Doug Wright has done a shrewd expansion job. The first act, full of bright colors and bouncy 1930s-style tunes, imagines the mother and daughter in their earlier salad days. The second act condenses the cinema-vérité longueurs of the film into a dark, funny and frightening portrait of two recluses who can't live with — or without — each other. All of which provides the role of a lifetime — two of them, actually — for its wondrous star Christine Ebersole.
