This Musical, it's addicting. It's amazing, and so oddly like my family it's crazy. Really? its AMAZING. I love it, because it shoes how crazy lives are, even when they seem to be the 'perfect' family. I mean, we all have that kid in ANY thing your in and their parents are ALWAYS there, and they ALWAYS do whatever they can sign up for, and you almost wanna slap them cause it's so annoying, but you can't help not like them because they are so nice, ha. It's an amazing show, and I want to see it so bad. It isn't around any time soon, but I want to go to chicago when it comes to see it.
"No show on Broadway right now makes as direct a grab for the heart — or wrings it as thoroughly — as “Next to Normal” does. This brave, breathtaking musical focuses squarely on the pain that cripples the members of a suburban family, and never for a minute does it let you escape the anguish at the core of their lives. “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. Such emotional rigor is a point of honor for “Next to Normal,” sensitively directed by Michael Greif and featuring a surging tidal score by Tom Kitt, with a book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and an astounding central performance from Alice Ripley." — Ben Brantley
