Applause, the musical based on the classic Hollywood movie
All About Eve, needs a strong leading lady at its center. The movie had Bette Davis, of course, and the original Broadway version had none other than Lauren Bacall. Thus, it makes perfect sense that when Encores! decided to present this tuner by Betty Comden and Adolph Green (book), Charles Strouse (music) and Lee Adams (lyrics), they tapped Tony-winning diva Christine Ebersole. We checked in with La Ebersole and the cast, which included a reunion for the star with her
Grey Gardens cohort, Erin Davie. Take a look at the show's final curtain call and starry cast party!
