• For Christine Ebersole, an Act of Faith Pays Off yet Again

Christine Ebersole was on her way back from walking her kids to school in Maplewood when she got the news that "Grey Gardens" had just gotten 10 Tony Award nominations, including best musical and her own best leading actress nod. I totally forgot that the nominations were coming out," says the actress, who does not own a television. "You know, when you have kids, it's what are they getting for lunch, and did we pack everything, and things like that. And my neighbor was on his way to the train, and he said, 'You were nominated.'

Leaving Los Angeles was an act of self- empowerment," [Christine Ebersole] says before a show at Café Carlyle in New York City. "Hollywood creates this illusion which I think is very pervasive in the culture. Nothing is in your controlit's this random thing that's just kind of outside of yourself. And only if you hit the numbers do you get lucky and land a job. "You're just kind of in shock a little bit," Ebersole says of winning the award. "It's a little bit surreal and doesn't really dawn on you until later. Nobody gets in this for awards. It's the icing on the cake." In the song "Around the World," from the Grey Gardens musical, Ebersole keeps Edie's indefinable New England accent: "It's my mother's house in my mother's name and you can't beat mother at mother's game."

So the story holds up its time frame still in flashback, another tribute to [Christine Ebersole]. Little mouse Eve Harrington (Erin Davie) who nightly hid in the shadows of [Margo Channing]'s stage door hoping the famous actress would notice her so she could steal her role, her man and her fruitful future. Sleeping her way through friend's playwright husband, star's lover and producer, it makes more sense played as written beginning with Margo presenting a top acting award to the schemer before we know how she got there. The cheating tale is helped enormously by reliable Kate Burton, duped herself as Margo's best friend, Chip Zien, entranced playwright, Tom Hewitt sharp producer, equal to Eve's exploitation, Michael Park, as Margo's lover/director Bill and hilarious Mario Cantone as bra...

• 'Grey Gardens' Colorful Story; Musical Re-Creates Jackie Onassis Kins' Rundown Mansion

NEW YORK -- At one time it was a wreck, out of place in the world of beautifully manicured lawns and perfectly maintained homes in East Hampton, N.Y. Now this house in all its former, ramshackled glory is at the center of "Grey Gardens," a Broadway musical that tells the story of two unique, eccentric women and the mansion in which they once lived. Its combative residents were Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, "Little" Edie Beale, aunt and first cousin of Jacqueline Onassis. Mother and daughter, played by Mary Louise Wilson and Christine Ebersole in the musical, lived in squalor (along with dozens of cats and a few raccoons), surrounded by one of the country's wealthiest resort communities.
