Alice Ripley
From Next To Normal.
Alice Ripley, star of the new musical Next To Normal at New York’s Second Stage Theatre, talks about the challenge of playing the emotionally disturbed mother of a “typical” American family and describes how the show’s music drives both the character and her performance. She also talks about her parallel career as a rock singer and songwriter, her Broadway debut in The Who’s Tommy, the remarkable experience of appearing as one-half of the conjoined Hilton Sisters in Side Show, the unique style of James Joyce’s The Dead, and the difficulty of playing a role while being doused by audience-wielded water guns in The Rocky Horror Show.
