Posted: 12/29/06 at 10:06pmJulie White, definitely. And from what I've read, Lea Michele, and maybe Megan Lawrence all belong in that category.

Posted: 12/29/06 at 10:11pmAgreed. I'll have to create more strict regulations for next year's competition. Oh well....I've got a year to think about it.

Posted: 12/30/06 at 7:49amI agree with Rath. Christine Ebersole has been around for over thirty years, has won a Tony in a leading category and was a full-time cast member on Saturday Night Live. I can somewhat see where you are coming from with Beth Leavel, since Drowsy is the first major role she has originated on Broadway, but certainly not Ebersole. She's a veteran, not a breakthrough.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

Munk - everyone voted from Christmas Day to yesterday. As they're still being counted, I'll be glad to accept yours until noon today.
ACL - Complain to the members of the board. They all picked 'em.

Posted: 12/30/06 at 9:10amI know. I wasn't knocking you, since you're just the messenger. I'm just saying it's weird.

Posted: 12/30/06 at 1:32pmWell, Beth Leavel has been around (I had the fortune of seeing her as Dorothy Brok in 42nd Street in 2001). I vote for her, though, because if I had to choose between her and Ebersole, she fits more into the category. I can't belive though, that Ebersole and Leavel both received the highest amount of votes.

I'm guessing not many of the original voters saw LITTLE DOG LAUGHED.
I believe White's is the undisputable breakout performance of the season - at the very least.
