I want to be exactly like Alice Ripley when I get older or right now.

[On people’s reaction to her Tony’s speech]
“I remember thinking it’s not about you, when did you suddenly become a part of my Tony?”
[x]

Alice: I was the mascot for the football team…
Susan: I was the mascot at my high school, too!
Alice: Are you kidding me?!
Susan: No!
Alice: Give me a white high five.
Susan: What was your mascot?  It was probably something cool.
Alice: Pirate.
Susan: We were the bees.  You were probably a sexy pirate running around, and I was dressed up like a big, fat bumblebee.

Favorite Side By Side By Susan Blackwell Moments

“Next to Normal does not, in other words, qualify as your standard feel-good musical. Instead this portrait of a manic-depressive mother and the people she loves and damages is something much more: a feel-everything musical, which asks you, with operatic force, to discover the liberation in knowing where it hurts.” —Ben Brantley of The New York Times
