Christine Ebersole at Irvine Barclay Theatre

Christine Ebersole has captivated fans and critics alike with her unforgettable roles in Camelot, Dinner at Eight and the smash hit revival, 42nd Street. She starred most recently on Broadway in War Paint in her Tony-nominated role as Elizabeth Arden, a combative cosmetics pioneer.

And then there was a role of a lifetime. Christine received virtually every Off-Broadway award and her second Tony Award for Leading Actress in a Musical for her dual role as both Edith Bouvier Beale and “Little Edie” Beale in Grey Gardens. Ebersole's comic verve, a brilliant singing voice and her ability to transform into her characters has earned her a place in the pantheon of Broadway leading women.
