Show People with Paul Wontorek Interview: "Next to Normal" Tony Winner Alice Ripley

[@Paint]

She's fascinating. Thanks for this!

[@alysonkumor3729]

i love alice because it seems like she doesn’t care if people don’t quite know what to make of her. she’s confident and she isn’t afraid of making people a little uncomfortable if it means she’s speaking her mind and sharing what she believes deep down. love her.

[@DaneNorris]

Alice Ripley is amazing. Such insight, wisdom and passion. I wish there were more people, and artists, like her. She has such a gift, and I adore this interview with her.

[@braytonaubree8989]

She is everything. She is such a unique, quirky, bright, and honest personality... so real and intense... Honestly an inspiration to art and women. I legit, no lie, choked up as I told a co-worker, "You have no idea how much Alice Ripley means to me." XD

[@gelphies]

i could listen to her talk for hours she is so perfect

[@alexmermadette6107]

I love her! She's so real and wise and passionate. We don't get a lot of artists like her anymore.

[@MarkPatton4d]

I am so happy that I found this...Alice..at first I had to turn away because I was just overwhelmed by the energy. I watched What Do You Know...I simply can not express what I want to say. Congratulations Alice.

[@ZoraTheberge]

She's nutty. God I love her

[@tierney1416]

"pill addicted mom" is not really even close to describing her character??

[@mustlovebooknerd]

Right?! I almsot can't even watch this video bc he clearly has no idea what he's talking about. What a sloppy interviewer, not doing the research!

[@funnybroadwaygirl]

she is just fabulous!! The world needs more free spirits like her! :D she has that cheer you up on a bad day mentality that is so beautiful and she has beautiful eyes no pun intended. :D

[@ChristopherHamblin]

I’m still in love with this interview

[@jackworthington1578]

"It's not about you...when did you suddenly become a part of my Tony?" Bhahahahahah LOVE HER.

[@deborahwaters6963]

Came here from tiktok.........Watch it again.

[@ChelexBebop]

I adore her. I'm in loveeee with her acting and personality.

[@sallylseton]

we are such meaning-making machines, us human beings. everything is empty and meaningless - why her videos are so brilliant.

[@JerkyPuck]

Alice truly is a force of nature. I remember Side Show coming out when I was in college and my roommate and I blasting it in our little WV town...clearly we were nuts but it was just so good. I'd give my eye teeth to sing one song with her.

[@Jussss11]

i love her and praise her like christ she is so talented but nuts i know people who have worked with her and they have like a long list of stories of her crazy

[@Vi-kk2er]

I feel like Alice and I have the same personality the way she talks and is so reflective of what she is saying but also is so unexpected like her mind jumps from one thought to the next sometimes as she is speaking the thoughts make sense to her but sometimes she lacks to bridge them together verbally and how she says stuff like she did around 4:24 I say things like that all the time lol I love how she owns it or maybe is just unaware idk but I love it and I love her so much she is truly one of my role models I would love to sit down over coffee with her and just pick her brain she is amazing AND I HAVE A LOUD VOICE TOO AHHHH

[@emmamueller3921]

I feel like everything she says confuses Paul

[@alysonkumor3729]

right?? but that doesn’t stop her and i love that

[@healthyholemealbread]

i love wontorek's laugh :)

[@hugoarr12]

An artist. A TRUE artist. Alice is so real. Love and appreciate all her work. She inspires me in my work and life in general!

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I never really liked the name Alice until I heard of Alice Ripley and saw her work here on KZbin (haven't been fortunate enough to catch her live). She is amazing!

[@mauriciamarta3867]

I love this woman so much. She is so unexpected... God bless you woman

[@yuiop608]

I would love to see her as mama rose

[@Vi-kk2er]

Henry DiMaria YESSSS

[@smckinsey2001]

Beautiful!

[@MsChatterbox235]

"it's not about you.... When did you suddenly become a part of my Tony?? ". :D

[@collaborativeartist1]

She is so amazing and inspiring! Someone get her a new iPhone...we need more videos!

[@Blueboooks]

Anyone here in 2021 👀

[@TheJackApple]

I would love to sit in her mind and watch her thought process :D Is that weird?

[@BeutifulLifeLS]

In love with her

[@volleyball613]

@Thestralsxxx Me tooo!!! I got Pearl Sun! But then I left and came back 2 days later and got her (:

[@volleyball613]

@Thestralsxxx I went on Thursday originally... I think. Hahaha. I'm sure Pearl Sun was great, but I mean come on... it's Alice Ripley! Hahaa

[@RIPLEYTHEBAND]

Love Ya!

[@Penguin11290]

@Thestralsxxx Me too! We were soo upset!!

[@bradsox95]

her memorizing Virginia Wolf is to me reading Next to Normal....

[@patman828]

I have a strong suspicion that Alice Ripley is the next step in the evolutionary chain. Brilliance.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

What a genius. GOD I love her so much.

[@lavalamp625]

She has such an intensity about her. It's mesmerizing

[@JonMeFree]

I love ALL CAPS Alice Ripley. :-)

[@unorth0d0x]

holy shit. this is really weird, justin, but i remember you from my elementary school, ols. i just happened to see this comment on this video and remembered you by your icon. ok sorry for being creepy bye

[@sms84]

Love her. Love. Her.

[@themeltedchocolate]

@HikariDragonRyuu I couldn't agree more

[@Jussss11]

omg! Alice did you read over the whole section of me praising you like Christ. I do love you so deeply i didn't mean crazy in a bad way at all i used horrid wording. It was funny stories of when you were in Tommy that is all. Me and my friends idolize you and talk about you all the time and dream of being in next to normal. You are stunning and perfect in every way and always dreamed of meeting you. I cried when i missed meeting you at the Broadway Flea market. Im so sorry if i offended you.

[@RIPLEYTHEBAND]

Dear Justin start naming names cause u r makin up stories. How old r u? Just curious. If you are under the age of 40 then I was onstage performing when you were pooping up mustard.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

GOD, Alice, I love you so much, I can't even explain how incredible you are. One day, you will be in a play that I am writing just for you. I can not WAIT for you to read it!

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Her earrings!

[@cloudedshrouds]

The Broadway production is definitely closed

[@MichaelKrasMagic]

MY IDOL.

[@horerfandod3]

Alice Ripley is the female version of Christopher Walken.

[@GroovyGadget]

Alice Ripley, a Broadway star, takes the subway??

[@bigred8432]

Yes, pay ain't good on ok Broadway.

[@Hunter-ef4ch]

Even Lin-Manual Miranda takes the subway haha

[@ryankjamess]

Jay and Mathew 😭😭😭😭

[@bornnforthis]

Genious

[@blancheduboisapologist]

Broadway does NOT pay well, unless you have star status a la Bernadette Peters, Bette Midler, Liza Minnelli, etc.

[@RIPLEYTHEBAND]

Justin start naming names cause u r makin up stories.

[@DragonPrincessAoife]

@HikariDragonRyuu That's what makes her so AWESOME!

[@NYCprincess7]

@TheJackApple No,I would too.

[@Blueboooks]

She seems off.

[@DE0BIZONE]

she is brilliant.

[@alysonkumor3729]

i wouldn’t call diana “pill-addicted”...

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Well they don't get paid a whole lot on Broadway, believe it or not.

[@ania5038]

Well I believe the accusations. She is weird. And she seems extremely narcissistic.

[@ugahush]

it is SO delicious

[@glueckssterni]

She and Kerry Ellis could be sisters.

[@bigred8432]

Hmmm

[@inlovewithJLT]

The show isn't running anymore...so no.

[@Katsportsfreak]

But Crazy people have more fun! Clearly you are not on the awesome list! We are sorry Justin.

[@jjohansan]

Shes so weird

[@rogemif]

@qubrown11 watching this I thought the same...

[@Southern_QUEERies]

Ummm...I wanna be friends with this bitch. Like I love her.

[@steverobinson8725]

Wish i could get in her house and steel them shoes to take home and sniff all night

[@roddyhalter4423]

I skimmed through the whole interview and i couldnt find the specific place that she took off her shoes...did she take off her shoes?

[@roddyhalter4423]

Well, i saw where she did a heelpop!

[@Thestralsxxx]

I was suppose to see her when N2N came to Chicago but she was sick. :(

[@Thestralsxxx]

@volleyball613 What if we went on the same day?! Haha. Pearl Sun was great though. But still. I missed Alice Ripley.
