This was Alice Ripley trying to win an Emmy for her Tony Speech.
I watched some of the musical's songs on TH-cam which led me to this and your concise appraisal. Her speech reinforces my initial rejection to the work as terribly overwrought. Thanks for the reinforcement of my suspicions. about the work.
@@michael69040 It's definitely not a show for everyone that's for sure
She said in another interview that the reason she was so loud was because earlier that night she was having trouble hearing other people and she wanted to be heard... I think ya nailed it AR! SHe is loud, fierce, and proud! Love it!
next to normal is the best show I've ever seen
Now why the hell did Billy Elliot beat them out for best musical?!
I don't know but I like both shows equally
FRRRRR
The best Diana in the world. Wonderful actress and singer. What a passion!
REALLY strange thought but... Alice Ripley as Mrs. Lovett.
Oh my god yes
She played Johanna as a young woman!
I could only hope that my acceptance speech would be this passionate, fearless of character, and honest.
I remember first seeing this before knowing Alice n I was like "Wow, this lady is alittle cooky!" But now I am a huge fan of Alice's and she totally deserved it! They could nominate her again next year and she would win.
started weird but she pulled it together i really liked her speech
HISTORY
KENNEDY
ART
Yup, that's why I'm here, too.
Steven Pasquale sent me here.
pmcmahon2493 Me, too! LOL!!!!
This video still literally makes me so happy. I love Alice to death and she deserved 5 Tony's for this performance!❤️
She spoke at my Florida Thespian Festival my senior year! She’s an angel! I love her! I love her!!!!!
I love this woman! So brilliantly talented, I wish I will have the privilege to see her perform someday... I've seen an off Broadway version of this show, and while still good, I can only dream of how the Broadway version was. It's definitely one of my favorites. Her speech was so inspirational and elegant, truly the best woman one in my opinion. Go Alice! :)
Very weird delivery and dynamics in that speech. Highly entertaining!
when i saw this i thought that maybe the role was like emotionally messing with her like it would be a hard role to deliver everyday but i met her and she seemed really nice it was to much though like she was screaming
I still think about this a lot
i love her! she is so sweet, adorable, and hilarious! i met her at the stage door and she was just the sweetest thing! Some guy gave her a pic he took of her and some dog and she was like "yay! photographic evidence that i have a boyfriend! take that bobby!" she was so funny!
One of those times where you see the actress and just think "That's the one! That's the character!"
Aaron Tveit deserved an award for next to normal
Idk if Sutton was pissed or was about to smile, but the video cut it off (which it looked like). I honestly imagine that Sutton wouldn't expect to win because it was highly expected that Alice would win
Omg who is the presenter? "yes I've been called a lot of things" I LOLd
David Hyde Pierce I believe
Next to Normal really did a number on her
I kinda hope she was always like that though I know that being Diana 8 times a week would fuck anyone up.
her passion makes me squeal
i watch this and still cry.... She is so amazing
im pretty sure her shoutting was a mixture of her emotion and her trying not to get choked up crying
I'm very happy for Alice. I've loved her since Side Show.
the best woman won. couldn't hve been a more mzing pssionate speech. god i love her.
What a wonderful speech! love her emotion at the start :)
almost forgot to watch this today
Yeah. Alice is amazing and Congratulations!!
ALICE YA CRAZY I RUV YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Two things I love about this video: The beautiful orchestration of "Light" at 0:51 and how they closed up of Bobby and his huge smile at 3:11
It looks to me like she was a bit emotional at first. She just won a Tony!!! After she gets her emotions in check her voice level is calm and beautiful. She is an passionate and loving person who also happens to be extremely talented in many art forms. She even uses her Tony win to inspire others. Far. From. Crazy!
she's so amazing. i love her.
Well deserved Tony win and beautiful acceptance speech by Ms. Ripley
Over the top. She didn't win the Nobel for saving lives.
@@richardmayora1289 Huh
Oh my, she's so beautiful
What does it say about me that my absolute idol is this adorably nuts?! Alice Ripley I love your crazy genius self ❤
I saw that broadway show yesterday! I got to see Alice Ripley a few feet away from me!!! Great show!!!
I met her last month and she was completely normal! Truly inspiring woman.

I love her gown!
paintchips sent me here and I was not let down
I LOVE HER

She is stunning.
She is the definition of perfect.
She deserved this. She was phenomenal in this role.
She is my idol...and I want to be her friend!!!
Ben platt used her quote "Musical Theater ist a FINE ART for His year book xD
God, this woman is amazing.
Everyone knew she would get this. She was so deserving. ALRIGHT ALICE!
I love the story behind why she chose that quite!
I love Alice!!!!
Me too! She turned in a endearing performance as Diana
Man it must have felt great for Alice hearing a much bigger cheer when her name was mentioned.
Lee Newton, anyone?
Revisiting this video and it's still fucking hilarious.
I GET THAT REFRENCE!!
She's just amazing.
do u know what happened???
@@josephgrizzetti6993 I do, I only found out a few weeks ago
I'm with you!
No one is better than Alice as Diana. DONE.
Did you see Marin Mazzie?
Oh My God me too!!
Alice Ripley Rocks you guys!- She's feirce. Hey that's the first time I've said feirce! And of course she sound's crazy. The remanents of her character in N2N is still on her.
Anyone else here from TikTok ?
yep
Honestly, I think we all knew who was going to win. YAY ALICE!
I met her she is super nice!
Go off sis
I love Alice Ripley, but you can tell she knew she was getting the Tony that night. Her speech is very prepared.
But I still love her, as crazy as she is.
Alice Ripley is a star
VOTE ALICE RIPLEY FOR PRESIDENT! :D
(and sutton foster looks extremely gorgeous there)
She practised the shit outta that speech
Wow just watching this video makes me want alice to run for president! LOL!
I saw the show the day right before the TONYS? I told Alice at the Stage Door that she was defenitly going to win and I was right.
Anyone else came here from Lee Newton on SourceFed Table Talk?
(I also love Alice Ripley, but table talk reminded me about this speech and I had to watch it again!)
i knew that's exactly who she was talking about lol
Which table talk!?
Ryan Padden "Theatre Kids, King Jew and did Lee just kiss Trisha?" one of my favorites hahaha
DoctorWhoBAMF Nah...I watched Steve Pasquale's interview and he cracked me up, going hard on this woman. Hilarious...he was right! She may be talented, but she's a nut job.
Ehmargerd, David Hyde Pierce and Alice Ripley being her crazy self? Yay!
omg, DHP, though. he's the best. Alice Ripley deserved this.
the best things about this video: David Hyde Pierce, Sutton Foster's face at the end.
HUMAN SPIRIT!!
Saw her on Friday. Amazing, but she's cra-zazy.
@napkinlady14 Thank you :D
@xibenny She is crazy and that IS amazing!

I love Alice but damn she is crazy!
Did you notice how she seems slightly taken aback by it, too?
@phantom4087 I don't think she's really like this in person. This was when she was high on happiness.
@Paint hahahahaha!!!! i love your comment :P but if crazy won her the tony then it must be okay hehe
@BroadwaysDreamer Nice reference. ;)
True dat. lol
@lukev7 yes, that must be why...she was getting caught in the beginning
There is one person who dislikes this video. s/he's not next to normal, s/he's far from normal. :-\
@alphadecay its become a very well known fact that both her and hunter (her brother) are kind of sore sports when it comes to awards... Thus explaining why Hunter Foster made that facebook page after this last tony awards... It wasnt because he had a problem with all the hollywook stars winning tonys its because he wasnt nominated for Million Dollar Quartet....
@ellenrocksyourworld Hhahaha....but I think I spelt ferice wrong.......hahha
I think the real motivation behind this speech is that she wants to out-diva Patti LuPone's acceptance speech from last year :-)
Her speaking voice sounds like Barbra Streisand's! If I wasn't looking at the video, I would think it was Babs!!
@alphadecay hollywood*
um...i think she fits her character well
I think she's crazy. But I'm saying that as the best possible compliment I can give to anyone.
@natinthehat1214 So she was normal... and you were next to her... therefore...
Look at Sutton's face in the last four seconds. Bottom right corner of the screen.
I completely idolize her, but I feel like she would be terrifying to be around.
i just feel like she wasnt humble about it. i agree that she deserved the award, but she seemed to be expecting it too much.. idk i love alice and n2n though
a dramatic reading of a quote. jesus.
