Right, we should distinguish between Alice Ripley and Ripley The Band. I've never seen a performance of Ripley the Band. Alice Ripley is performing at the Metropolitan Room on July 16, 18, 22, and 29, all dates at 9:30 pm. The performance I attended was at the Metropolitan Room. If you want to see Alice Ripley perform musical theater material, perhaps you should go see her at the Metropolitan Room instead of seeing the band.

It depends on what she's feeling like doing. I went to a show of hers at the Metropolitan Room on May 27, and she sang with a pianist, doing mostly musical theater and jazz. She said at the beginning of the set that due to personal circumstance (death in the family) that she was changing up things. The set list was 1) "Still Hurting" by Jason Robert Brown from the Last Five Years 2) "Lush Life" (jazz standard) 3) "Danny Boy" 4) "I Miss the Mountains" by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey from next to ...

I sent Alice Ripley a couple next to normal photos about two months ago and she sent them back autographed in about 3-4 weeks.

I went to see one of her concerts at New York City Center. She signed for everyone at the stage door. She's well-known for loving fans, so I would guess that she'd come out to sign at every concert if possible.

Unlike film or television, theatre is a living, breathing thing. Actors have good days and bad days. The audience is part of the show. Every performance is different. Just like life.

Also, on a related note, there's another review of the Boston production at Talkin' Broadway. http://www.talkinbroadway.com/regional/boston/

According to SpeakEasyStage's twitter feed, the show is sold-out and they are extending the run another week. The tickets for the extended week go on sale Wednesday.

I followed the link and wrote to Great Performances. Everyone join in! By the way, I wrote to Ms. Lupone back in May and suggested that Gypsy be taped and she responded, saying that she would love to do it, but it was not up to her.
