N2N wins a pulitzer

The Broadway community is buzzing about "Next to Normal" winning this year's Pulitzer Prize for drama. Does the show deserve this honor? Is it true that most of the Pulitzer voters didn't see the show until the day before they cast their vote?? Did it sway their opinion? Is N2N too "commercial" to win such a prestigious award?

As for me, I don't know and I truly don't care. My question is this:

Can Alice Ripley accept on behalf of the show??

Because let's be honest, last year's Tony speech was deliciously overindulgent and the true highlight of the whole evening. Enjoy a few minutes of someone taking themselves entirely too seriously.

I can't help but wonder what other political leaders Alice could quote at the Tony Awards.

"There is a quote from George W Bush that says JUSTICE ought to be FAIR"!

Or maybe she could share a quote from California Governor, Arnold Schwartzenegger.

"There is a quote from the 'Governator' that says DON'T be economic GIRLIE MEN"

Maybe she'll step outside of the box and use some quotes right from pop culture.

"There is a quote from Lady Gaga that says GA GA OOH LA LA... watch out BAD ROMANCE"

Next To Normal is a tremendous show. Alice Ripley gives an amazing performance. But do you get the feeling that maybe it's because there's a lot of Diana in her already???

Just saying.
