So true.

Not one of Abridged's best, but thanks for posting.

I thought the scene descriptions were hilarious and some of the moments were really good, but overall, not one of the funnier Broadway Abridged scripts. I still enjoyed it though.
Actually, I don't think that she has PTSD. PTSD wouldn't explain her affective symptoms. I still say bipolar or even possibly borderline personality disorder.

Just finished reading it. I haven't seen the show, but I thought it was pretty funny. Especially the part about guessing what rhyme comes next, because I was doing just that while listening to the cast recording.

You hit the nail on the head, Joe! These N2N/Alice Ripley maniacs are unable to be objective.

I found the Alice Ripley caveman talk funny at first, but like most of the jokes in these, they are dragged on for far too long.

I love Broadway Abridged. Sometimes the plot synopses on the Wikipedia don't really tell the story in a very helpful way; but if you combine them with a BA, you can actually work out what's going on!
I've enjoyed parodies of both shows I've disliked and loved.
I "got" the jokes (and even agreed with many) but didn't find them all that funny.
I did like the lighting comments as well!
