I watched some of the musical's songs on KZread 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

The best Diana in the world. Wonderful actress and singer. What a passion!

I could only hope that my acceptance speech would be this passionate, fearless of character, and honest.

Now why the hell did Billy Elliot beat them out for best musical?!

She played Johanna as a young woman!

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

This video still literally makes me so happy. I love Alice to death and she deserved 5 Tony's for this performance!❤️

Yup, that's why I'm here, too.

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! :)

Steven Pasquale sent me here.

I still think about this a lot

i watch this and still cry.... She is so amazing

I'm very happy for Alice. I've loved her since Side Show.

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!

the best woman won. couldn't hve been a more mzing pssionate speech. god i love her.

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

Very weird delivery and dynamics in that speech. Highly entertaining!

Yeah. Alice is amazing and Congratulations!!

What a wonderful speech! love her emotion at the start :)

her passion makes me squeal

Omg who is the presenter? "yes I've been called a lot of things" I LOLd

I kinda hope she was always like that though I know that being Diana 8 times a week would fuck anyone up.

ALICE YA CRAZY I RUV YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she's so amazing. i love her.

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

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

Well deserved Tony win and beautiful acceptance speech by Ms. Ripley

What does it say about me that my absolute idol is this adorably nuts?! Alice Ripley I love your crazy genius self ❤

One of those times where you see the actress and just think "That's the one! That's the character!"

Oh my, she's so beautiful

Aaron Tveit deserved an award for next to normal

this woman is AMAZING. she is so ridiculously passionate i love her.

im pretty sure her shoutting was a mixture of her emotion and her trying not to get choked up crying

I love her gown!

almost forgot to watch this today

I saw that broadway show yesterday! I got to see Alice Ripley a few feet away from me!!! Great show!!!

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!

I LOVE HER

I met her last month and she was completely normal! Truly inspiring woman.

She is my idol...and I want to be her friend!!!

She is the definition of perfect.

She is stunning.

I love the story behind why she chose that quite!

I love Alice!!!!

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.

Honestly, I think we all knew who was going to win. YAY ALICE!

I'm with you!

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.

Ehmargerd, David Hyde Pierce and Alice Ripley being her crazy self? Yay!

Saw her on Friday. Amazing, but she's cra-zazy.

omg, DHP, though. he's the best. Alice Ripley deserved this.

HUMAN SPIRIT!!

the best things about this video: David Hyde Pierce, Sutton Foster's face at the end.

I love Alice but damn she is crazy!

@xibenny She is crazy and that IS amazing!

@phantom4087 I don't think she's really like this in person. This was when she was high on happiness.

@lukev7 yes, that must be why...she was getting caught in the beginning

Did you notice how she seems slightly taken aback by it, too?

@Paint hahahahaha!!!! i love your comment :P but if crazy won her the tony then it must be okay hehe

@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....

Her speaking voice sounds like Barbra Streisand's! If I wasn't looking at the video, I would think it was Babs!!

@ellenrocksyourworld Hhahaha....but I think I spelt ferice wrong.......hahha

There is one person who dislikes this video. s/he's not next to normal, s/he's far from normal. :-\

@BroadwaysDreamer Nice reference. ;)

I think the real motivation behind this speech is that she wants to out-diva Patti LuPone's acceptance speech from last year :-)

True dat. lol

@alphadecay hollywood*

um...i think she fits her character well

@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 think she's crazy. But I'm saying that as the best possible compliment I can give to anyone.

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

@highdopaminelevel lol

I completely idolize her, but I feel like she would be terrifying to be around.
