While I think she's talented, I thought she was miscast as Little Edie. The character in Act I bore little resemblance to the character in Act II, largely due to her low key, mild-mannered interpretation of the role. There simply was no way to believe that that younger woman would turn out to be the eccentric, paranoid, mannered, high strung, manic Little Edie we see in Act II and as a result Act I and Act II seemed like two different and almost unrelated shows. Hopefully her replacement will do a better job of evoking a younger incarnation of that blissfully odd creature that Ebersole brings so miraculously to life in Act II.
