Alice Ripley BIO

Alice Ripley, who The New York Times called “simply astonishing,” is a consummate Broadway star in addition to a versatile actor in film and television and a distinguished singer-songwriter. Her work as Diana in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Next to Normal garnered her a Tony Award for “Best Actress in a Musical.” She was nominated for both a Drama Desk and a Tony for her brilliant work in the short lived but legendary Side Show, and she’s created unforgettable original performances in such Broadway hits as The Who’s Tommy, Sunset Boulevard, The Rocky Horror Show, and American Psycho.

Ripley has won accolades and awards for her work in the feature films Bear With Us and Sugar! and has made guest appearances on such popular TV series as “Blue Bloods,” “Royal Pains,” “30 Rock” (as herself) and the Netflix series “Girlboss.” Along with four original Broadway cast recordings, two musical theatre duet albums, and countless guest tracks on compilation CDs and demos, Ms. Ripley is an accomplished songwriter/musician who has released three albums of her own music.
