Im gonna correct my comment to be nice and because it is true I should say nice things only. She was brilliant as Betty Schaffer in Sunset Blvd. She would be good as Laura in The Woman in White.

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I adore Alice Ripley and I would love to see her in a Broadway show. As far as a particular part, I can't think of any. I was a moron and missed her performance in The Bakers Wife at Papermill. I'm not familiar with the book, but I would love to see that on Broadway.

I just saw her a few weeks ago in The Music of Andrew Llyod Webber.

Alice was unforgettable in Little Shop. I was at the last performance and it was truly one of the most moving perfomances I have ever seen.

oh and if they ever make a musical version of "Valley of the Dolls", Alice should play Neely O'Hara with Bernadette or Patti as Helen Lawson.

I want to see her doing "James Joyce's the Dead" again.

I'd absolutely love to see her as Eva in Evita...talk about a powerhouse show for her.

Cheers,

Alice already did TOMMY... I believe she was an understudy for Mrs. Walker & then got bumped up later. I did see it with her understudying for sure and it was nothing short of phenomenal!

Personally, I'd love to see Alice do EVITA. She'd be great.

Witches of Eastwick - Alex (w Emily as Jane and Sutton as Sukie)
-----

You know Emily played Alex in a reading of that? I think Alice would make a better Jane. And Jennifer Laura Thompson would be better as Sukie. But please, lets never cast Alice and Emily in a show together again.


Alice has played Mrs. Walker twice, btw. She played the role again last summer in Pittsburg.

Alice has a great voice, she can play so many roles.

ShineOn why the comment: "But please, lets never cast Alice and Emily in a show together again"????

well...i didn't enjoy Alice as Audrey in Little Shop, but probably i was just comparing her to Ellen Greene all the time, Alice was doing Audrey pretty much her own. And she was good. But there were little things i am just accustumed to the movie's Audrey. Anyhow, they didn't give her a chance to do the show on Broadway. They fired everyone but Hunter Foster i think.
