I really wouldn't agree with Ebersole being on the list of current bests. She did an amazing job and deserves all of the awards and recognition she received, but her presence besides her work in Grey Gardens in recent years hasn't been huge.

1. For me, it really was those three things that made Spring Awakening similar to Rent. It made me feel like the producers went: 'Rent worked, so let's do another show that's kind of edgy, geared to youth, and uses rock music.'
2. Ebersole was also great in Camelot way back in the day. And I think that Grey Gardens is her coming out party for a long and successful career on the stage.
