ADDITIONAL QUOTES:
"Ebersole is such a likable performer; from the moment she begins to sing, a warmth seems to spread throughout the audience. Not only is the tone of her voice beautiful, but she is able to use it in a manner of styles. In fact, Ebersole is completely at home in whatever she sings, whether it's jazz, musical-theatre tunes or standards." Andrew Gans, Playbill
