[clockwatcher738]

[Zoe4631]

[liameg528]

This is why I love Alice Ripley. BTW, Happy Birthday Alice.

[bradsox95]

i adore her. so much.

[ImFancyPants]

awesome.

[kaityk9]

I love these videos! XD It makes my day all the better!

[electricbixxh]

Favorite person ever. EVER!

[kjag23]

The wink at the end drives me crazy.... Alice Ripley... You are the sexiest woman alive!!! Like this isnt sarcasm.... You are SO SEXY!

[disnylndmagicman]

Alice, you are my favorite person in life.

[13khloe13]

YEAH! DONT LET THEM GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR LIFE!!!!

[broadwaystarwannaB]

You tell 'em Alice! You know who your friends are! <3

[13khloe13]

It's ok Alice. Ignor them. I got yo back. ;)

I LOVE YOU ALICE!

[RIPLEYTHEBAND]

FIRST OF ALL, IT'S CALLED PRETENDING. SECONDLY, IT'S ABOUT THE BIG PICTURE. STEP BACK AND TAKE A LOOK.

[frankiefan842]

It's fun to see my friends' reactions to my constant recreation of this video, as I mutter "twist, twist, twist, the name of the game is the peppermint twist." You're a goddess Alice.

[joanogiff]

Bi-polar as F*ck, but, she is a great stage actress. I guess most talented folks are a little bit off. Or, as my mother would say: "She's just complicated."

I just wonder what her motivation is in posting these weird clips. Sometimes it looks like we are witnessing a woman experiencing a nervous breakdown. Is she simply getting into "character" for "Next To Normal?" I certainly HOPE SO!

[WickedMusicalBuffalo]

@joanogiff The name of the game is the peppermint twist. 

[p3s5h]

i don't understand this at all. but that's okay. alice, just keep on being fabulous.

[CleveNMLActor]

fabulous actress. voice has much to be desired. in reality quite a loon. still a brilliant actress though.

[BlueWind47]

I love this video!! Oh, and, I just made my wish. (:

[georgeforeman89]

Alice, I do not wear mascara. What can i do to make my troubles go away??!! By the way, I saw you in N2N this past friday night, and you were SPECTACULAR!!!!! made me cry. awesome awesome awesome

[musicbyjamie]

HAHA. Love you Alice! Please put "I Am a Rock" on your next album! I heard you sing it at Arena Stage and loved it!!! :D 

[silenthillmaster755]

what the hell is she smoking

[neveruntiltoday]

This will make me happy for the rest of my life, I think.

[RIPLEYTHEBAND]

DA PEPPAMIN TWISSZZZ!!!!!????

[sydneyparra96]

wait...so whats the name of the game?

[CourtneyGrande]

@sydneyparra96 the peppermint twist LMFAO

[bingbangbongable]

i need an mp3 of this so i can listen to it as i walk down the street... groovy

[AliJoTheGleek]

It's like The Ring, if you don't get someone else to watch this video you will die.

[RIPLEYTHEBAND]

HAHA SAGESTARK THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.

[frankiefan842]

It's the f-ing name of the game! Definitely my favorite video on Youtube. EVER.

[RIPLEYTHEBAND]

OK!

[sagestark]

yes. flawless. Alice, lets just skip the expensive dates and the small talk. I might be gay and you might be indifferent but wanna get hitched? Lets have us some invisible children and sign at each-other alot.

[RIPLEYTHEBAND]

"I'M SO CONFUSED"

(RIPLEY *SIGHS*)

WHEN IT COMES TO THIS KIND OF DRIVEL, PERFORMED BY ALUCE RIPLEY, A SO-CALLED ACTRESS WHO IS ACTUALLY KNOWN IN SOME REALMS AS A "BRAYING DONKEY ATTEMPTING AN IRISH BROGUE", WHY ADMIT YOUR CONFUSION?

ADD TO THE ORDER, YO! PERHAPS YOU MIGHT COME UP WITH SOMETHING MORE THAN VOICING HOW CONFUSED U ARE? LIUV YA! DONT BE MAD!

[waysmarterthanu]

@RIPLEYTHEBAND

Thank you for being an inspiration to every aspiring weirdo out there.

I saw you in Los Angeles and couldn't believe how absolutely wonderful you are, Ms. Alice!

[arcgoose]

will you marry me Alice?

[GuiltycrenfroOne]

What song is playing in the background? I like it a lot

[theEWshow]

I love you alice

[littleladyfangz]

what is happening here? like I love Alice but I'm so confused.

[RIPLEYTHEBAND]

LOVE YA!!!

[frankiefan842]

This is my favorite video on YouTube, and it always will be. I smile every time I see it. I love you Alice!

[Meadowlark87]

I'm a little scared, a little entertained, a little in need of mascara and a whole lot loving you!!!

[gsanchez1714]

[Finken]

If I see you at the stage door tonight, the peppermit twist will definitely make an appearance. ;3

[LizzyBennettful]

"and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music"

- NIETZSCHE

obviously some just "don't hear the music". so go somewhere else.

[broadwaystarwannaB]

[NicoleTFerraro]

Genius. This never gets old.

[MelCrawMeow]

@NicoleTFerraro LOVE<3

[MelCrawMeow]

I saw La Cage a few weeks ago and all I could think of was the peppermint twist. And I was okay with that. Lots of <3s

[jazzymcjazzster]

Okay...I used to have a lot of respect for Alice Ripley...but I am not too sure anymore lol what did I just watch?

[devoutlyimmature]

@jazzymcjazzster HOW DOES THIS CONFUSE YOU? YOU NUMB BUTT!! This makes me love/respect Alice even more, 'cause she's secure enough in herself to be silly! A person doesn't have to be all high and proper for people to respect them! :p

P.S. Over 30,000 views. Win.

[jazzymcjazzster]

@devoutlyimmature LOL I am a numb butt? lol anyway...I still respect her alice ripley is amazing. I was just kidding bud. I mean, I don't care if your not proper, as long as your descent. All I meant was that this vid was just so random lol I never expected it from her lol chill out bud.

[devoutlyimmature]

@jazzymcjazzster Lol "numb butt" is a quote of Alice's. I was kidding too but still, we agree, she's awesome.

[2handsforchrist]

Hey! you kept forgetting the "Boppa-shoo-bop, bop-bop-bop-bop-bop-bop!"

[DickMohawk1]

who is this firecracker?

[EnchantedSilence]

@DickMohawk1 Alice Ripley

[EnchantedSilence]

I fing love this video.

[EnchantedSilence]

I wish she was my cool aunt Alice.

[EnchantedSilence]

I had this stuck in my head and just had to watch it before bed. Hopefully it will soak into my dreams.

[EnchantedSilence]

This seems like some random joombla I would do.

[broadwaystarwannaB]

AWW! Happy Anniversary to my favorite video of all time!

[EnchantedSilence]

Woops...I've commented this way more times than I've even realized.

[devoutlyimmature]

[songsparrow882]

Alice Ripley. I love you, you are so interesting and inspirational.

[lauraandsuttonfan14]

Maybe she didn't have to be in the show that night..... Maybe understudy was there

[TheatreChick615]

She has only missed like one show and that was a few weeks ago. This was probably while the band was warming up or during intermission

[najishow]

Medication time!

[kilian111]

What a pretentious fool.

[dancexsing]

[samanthatirrell]

[cheersas247]

I love that it's eyeliner.. hahahaha

[iou50bucks]

hahahahaha love it!

[loveya718]

wait--did she really film AND post this during the live show? When is she offstage for this long? I know the youtube vid's take a while to upload...maybe it is just my slow connection--didn't know the booth is so hightech

[broadwaybabi91]

I think, because it's 10:18 this was probably like, after the show when she was trying to wind down from being completely psychotic...

[loveya718]

No, I've seen the show twice and it does not end until AT LEAST 10:30pm...and Aug 7 was not a Tuesday.

[FloopySocks]

i have NEVER in my life seen a person so cool

[Hailo7788]

Funny connection to the Peppermint Twist.

Originally written by Joey Dee and the Starliters. In one of the verses it says "Well meet me baby down at 45th street

Where the Peppermint Twisters meet. They are talking about 45th in New York where they booked a gig at the Peppermint Lounge for what was supposed to be a one-time weekend gig. That is located almost one block away from the Booth Theatre where... what do you know, Next to Normal is currently playing on Broadway! BOO YAAA!!!

[iwannabeaweasley]

this "some girl" on camera happens to be the recipient of the 2009 tony award for best leading actress in a musical.

and she proves that you don't have to be talking straightforward for 10 minutes to make a point.

[EnchantedSilence]

I want to know what lipstick that is.

[Morgannnx13]

you're crazy

i love you!

haha

[MiniMullally211]

this is beyond addicting. <3 alice, one woman show? i'm waiting on it

[anjelishot]
