Hopefully it was for a job opportunity. Im sorry you will miss her.

Yeah I knew she was doing Carrie in Seattle in October so I was not expecting her to be announced at all. I wish I could see her in Carrie. It's going to be amazing!
Bummer. I've never really found the autograph table to be worth it, but I've always somehow managed to run into her over the course of the day. She's always willing to chat with fans.
On the upside "Ripley Reflects" WILL indeed be recorded! This is for the description of the show to be held on 9/19/13:
"Following her recent sold out appearance at 54 Below, Tony Winner Alice Ripley returns with her brand new evening of your favorite music in Ripley Reflects. Expect a carefully crafted sampling of songs from shows in which she was an original Broadway cast member, as well as a healthy serving of melodies that cover a wide range of genres, including her own original tunes! Ripley’s recent award-winning turn in Next to Normal (Best Actress in a Musical) took place long after Broadway had already fallen in love with Alice in shows such as Side Show (Tony and Drama Desk Nominations), Sunset Boulevard, The Rocky Horror Show and The Who’s Tommy. Ripley Reflects will be captured on a new recording, to be released November 2013!"
All of Alices shows have been captured by Iphone voice memo recorder. Get friendly with one of the obsessed fans and you will have a copy long before its release!
Saw her last night at Backstage at 54 Below...she was amazing! So nice afterward as well.
Carly Sakolove (an impressionist) did the bit where she sings one song in many voices when they're called to her. When Alice's name was called, before she could begin Ms Ripley took the mic from the front row and sang it herself - crowd went nuts. It was really fun.
