My obsession with the Beales seems to have reached critical mass. It started with Jezebel but has been fed in recent months by the documentary’s availability on Netflix, then the HBO movie, and then the musical coming to Houston. We have the DVD at home now, and we’ve been watching it in chunks, and because YouTube is like a bag of Lays potato chips (you can’t watch just one) I’ve been obsessively Googling clips from all three versions of their lives.

Since last Sunday I’ve been singing verses of this song aloud in the kitchen every time I do dishes. Christine Ebersole won a Tony for her performance as Little Edie.
