Next to Awesomeness
Next to normal is anything but normal. A soul punching, heart wrenching, slide splitting roller-coaster of emotion.
From start to finish, this show held me without letting go and shook me in my $25 rush seating.
Alice Ripley really is FEIRCE. We had the AMAZING understudy for the husband Dan. Natalie and Henry were superb. But the standout was Kyle Massey playing GABE. Just a knock out, both on the eyes and the ears. This was a rock musical and he ROCKED.
The show revolved around mother DIANA's mental breakdown over her family.
There hasn't been a show that's moved me this much since BLOOD BROTHERS. I was an emotional wreck come the closing of act one and don't even mention act two...
This is a ground breaking show that deserved all acclaim headed its way. Why it didnt get the Tony, I'll never know. The best so far on Broadway.
