Photos: Alice Ripley Previews ALL SONDHEIM at 54 Below!
By: Walter McBride
Tony winner Alice Ripley brought her ALL SONDHEIM show to 54 Below last week, on August 12. The multi-talented star of Broadway's NEXT TO NORMAL, SUNSET BOULEVARD, THE WHO'S TOMMY, SIDE SHOW and THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW explored the provocative lyrics and enduring melodies of songs written by the legendary Stephen Sondheim.
Ripley gathered some of her favorites -- and even revisited classic Sondheim characters she's played, remembering anecdotes along the way. From "Worst Pies In London" to "Getting Married Today"... from "Losing My Mind" to "Rose's Turn"... from "Being Alive" to "The Ladies Who Lunch", Ripley's ALL SONDHEIM set list gave the audience a night to remember. She will return with the same show on September 23.
54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, is the new performance venue in the grand tradition of New York City nightlife. A few blocks from the heart of Times Square and just below the legendary Studio 54, 54 BELOW is a classically designed state-of-the art nightclub in the theatre district that hosts audiences with warmth and style. The venue provides a food and beverage menu from early evening through the wee hours of the morning that is worthy of the world-class entertainment on the stage. Located at 254 West 54th Street, 54 BELOW features up to three shows nightly with cover charges ranging from $15-$105.
