NYC: ALICE RIPLEY BRINGS DAILY PRACTICE TO THE MET

NYC: ALICE RIPLEY BRINGS DAILY PRACTICE TO THE MET

In 2011 Alice Ripley released Daily Practice, an album of 10 acoustic covers of classics from Bruce Springsteen to Carole King. On Saturday, March 17th at 7:00 pm, Alice will perform songs from the album at THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440), and adds two powerful elements: surprising versions of show tunes from musicals in which Alice created roles - and the return of her band RIPLEY. Now joined by Lauren Molina on cello and vocals, and Nick Cearley on noisemakers and vocals, the 6 piece band lets Alice turn full throttle rock star - all the while retaining the intimacy of the audience being in her living room as she does her daily practice. Ripley won critical acclaim and the 2009 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Next to Normal, as well as creating roles in cult hits like Side Show, The Who's Tommy and The Rocky Horror Show. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
