HOUSE OF ROT: GREY GARDENS
Created by Dino Dimitriadis & Victoria Falconer

Beauty fades. Madness sings.

Headlining the 2026 Hayes Theatre Company Winter Cabaret Season is the premiere of HOUSE OF ROT: GREY GARDENS, starring über-talents Paul Capsis (Cabaret) and Adam Noviello (Hedwig and the Angry Inch).

HOUSE OF ROT is inspired (loosely, dangerously) by Grey Gardens, the documentary that introduced the world to Big and Little Edie; two eccentric recluses who lived in a house slowly falling in on itself.

Created by director Dino Dimitriadis and musical director Victoria Falconer, this is a cabaret invocation, part unholy communion, part elegy in heels.

Weaving original compositions with new interpretations of known songs both contemporary and classic, Capsis and Noviello reckon with legacy, survival, and the spaces we inherit when no one’s looking. Because maybe there’s a way to live inside collapse. Because grief and fury, if left untouched, will eat through the floor.

Presented by Green Door Theatre Company in association with Hayes Theatre Co.
