TGMAG - FINALS: McDonald vs. Ripley

In the vein of March Madness last year (don't worry, I'll keep it to one thread so as not to piss everyone off) I'm organizing a new bracket. It will be to determine the greatest musical actress of this generation. I'm only including "this generation" to avoid throwing the contest to Ethel Merman or Patti LuPone, while making it a bit more specific.

The bracket can be found here:

You may only vote for one performer in each match. Any ballots submitted after 10:00 EST the day after this is posted will not be counted and the bracket will be updated.

Christine Ebersole-1 (please remove her, she's not of this generation - she was in the 1979 revival of OKLAHOMA!, for instance)
Alison Pill-1 -EDIT: wasn't in a musical, sorry.

Once again, YOU MAY NOT VOTE FOR A PERFORMER AFTER THEY HAVE RECIEVED 4 VOTES.

Allison Pill is also ineligible as she has never starred in a Broadway musical.

Sutton Foster-4
Audra McDonald-3
Kristin Chenoweth-1
Tracie Thoms-1
Kelli O'Hara - 1

Since I messed up my vote by putting in Donna Murphy, can I just request that someone add Carolee Carmello and Tonya Pinkins?!
