Tony-nominee Ripley Feels 'Normal' Playing Diana

[applesauceisevil]

Her strength is not in musical talent right now. Her voice used to be amazing, but the performance I went to a week ago left me cringing. She needs to take a break.

[MrBarsty]

@applesauceisevil I know her voice has faded, but she is nearly fifty. Many people's voices suffer as they grow older, look at Frances Ruffelle and Idina Menzel, and for this show I would say her talent as an actress supercedes any vocal deficiency from which she now suffers.

@applesauceisevil As far as I know, she left the show over 6 months ago... did you perhaps see someone else?

[applesauceisevil]

@CrazyLove1116 Nope, it was her for sure. She was there for a short period of time (I forgot why they said it). She was in the playbill and others reported seeing her as well. Plus her voice sounded the same as in some of the videos I've seen.

I feel like she truly loves playing Diana. I feel like some broadway actors get tired of playing the same character 8 times a week, but I feel like Alice loves playing Diana 8 times a week.

[MahoRoulete]

this should be a tv show.

[undiscoveredtalent94]

she says she is living diana right now? that's kind of scary considering diana is an insane, depressed, and suicidal woman.

her voice sounds so different from what i would have expected! alice ripley is amazing :)

[EnchantedSilence]

This should be changed to tony winner.

[devoutlyimmature]

This woman = love. Strongest & bravest performer I've ever seen, one of the most caring, genuine people I've ever met. So sad I won't get to see her in N2N in NYC anymore, but so excited for the rest of the country to get to experience her in this show.

[whitetiefilms]

She's not really a genius. She just understands that creatively, acting isn't acting, it's living.

[somethingswicked]

Alice Ripley is God. I'm convinced.

[MvyMkr]

She's kinda creepy...I wonder how much of it is put on.

[mumfffff]

@MvyMkr yeah... she's actually kinda crazy in real life. brilliant, but absolutely crazy.

[Thewaiter525600]

I love her and she's one of the most talented Broadway actresses. But she's nuts.

[havaneezer]

I only know her from YouTube but I love her.

[RIPLEYTHEBAND]

THANK YOU JOHN CARUCCI.

[iwannabeaweasley]

SO ALICE RIPLEY HASN'T ABANDONED YOUTUBE! (I thought you were gone forever ): )

I guess I can put my 'I Miss the Mountains' 'I Miss Alice Ripley' parody plan to get you back on hold...

[iwannabeaweasley]

That frown emoticon? Yeah, that should be a happy face signifying my excitement.

[Cathyelliott]

I saw her on the View singing. It was spellbinding. Wow. I'm her age, and I hope someday I can do this part. There are more parts for women "of a certain age" being written in musical theatre, thank god. Keep 'em coming!

[jjudgehix]

That was a little blatant.

[jjudgehix]

She's hot also.

[KHDisneyATfan]

wow, true she is attractive for her age, but is it necessary to completely announce it? she is Talented as hell, deserved her TONY award, and I can't wait to see this

[gonnawallow]

This woman is absolutely brilliant.
