You may discount the rumors that the Tony committee isn't going to bother nominating four other women for the Best Actress in a Musical award because Ebersole already has an unbreakable lock on it. But, no question, she's totally terrif: funny, sexy, domineering, pitiable, lending her formidable, witty soprano voice to two disparate roles she was born to play...
