i love her! she is the sweetest and funniest person you will ever meet! I got to meet her at the stage door and she was so sweet.

And i love how when they showed the audience, bobby spencer and jenn damiano looked so proud of alice (especially bobby [love him too!]) and then sutton looks like she is pissed. haha. all the nominees for everything were so talented, but alice ripley and any nominees for next to normal outstood others, so i don't get how Billy elliot won almost everything.

I saw her on Next to Normal last night. And I fell in love with everything about that show. Alice Ripley is the god of Broadway as far as I'm concerned.

I cried and laughed and cried some more. She puts so much passion onto stage, its almost scary. Hell yeah, musical theatre is a fine art.

I don't need a life that's normal, that's way too far away, but something next to normal would be okay...

Alice Ripley is so cool and awesome she deserved this award so much and I'm so happy she got it.

[Adam Colombus]

I think Alice is a brilliant performer but this role seems like her in real life. Am I the only one that thinks she's crazy?

[cyrodilicbrandy]

David Hyde Pierce was a bit scared, there.

[Michele Lindor]

I'm speechless after every performance she does. I'm in awe.

[Kyle O]

[Chris Robertson]

hmmmm.... yeah. sutton is amazing. she is much more diverse and can dance and stuff better than ms. ripley..... but... she didn't deserve it for Shrek.... because... well... it was Shrek. haha

[Chris Robertson]
