Curt Hansen as GABE in NEXT TO NORMAL
Kyle Dean and Aaron are both DIFFERENT than Curt, but not better by any means. I just saw the tour in San Diego and I also saw Kyle Dean and the rest of the original cast do the show in New York, and I think both shows were fantastic! However, I do feel that, overall, Curt's rendition of Gabe is more likeable as a character and more dimensional. Aaron and Kyle Dean were both great, but a little more robotic. Gabe is supposed to be what Dianna sees him as, and wouldn't a mother want to see her so
