As it was at the overture and shall be at the exit music, bliss without end. Amen.

She’s Fierce!

I’ve noticed that a lot of people have come to the website by searching for Alice Ripley’s eccentric acceptance speech from the Tonys (with such engine entries as “Alice Ripley Crazy” and “Alice Ripley Crazy Town Speech”). So here it is!

"I Miss the Mountains"

This show is high on my list to see. Alice Ripley sings “I Miss the Mountains” from next to normal on yesterday’s episode of “The View.”

Musical Twitter?

It’s an interesting idea using new media and technology to promote a show, but does anyone think this is a bit ridiculous (if original)?

Being reported from NBC News:

Next to Normal will become the first Broadway show to Twitter a full performance.

“For the first time ever, the full story of a Broadway musical will be told via Twitter. Follow the characters of Next to Normal as they tweet their story – all the lows, all the highs – day by day, song by song. Experience it like you never have before. No Twitter account required!” the show announced on its official website this week.

The opening tweet from the @N2NBroadway account earlier this week announced “Starting May 5, follow the characters as they tweet their story – all the lows, all the highs – day by day, song by song.”

The twitterformance (OK, that’s not really a word,) will run through June 7. Next to Normal IRL life has an open-ended run at the Booth Theatre, located at 222 W. 45th St.
