13's Movie Adaptation is finally happening via Netflix

I saw a youth production of the revised version and I didn't hate it. I think it was one act on Broadway and this one was two acts and had an additional song, "Being a Geek." I'm not a huge JRB fan but it was certainly more enjoyable than High School Musical.

Robert Horn, one of the book writers, hinted very strongly that this was going to happen when he was on Live At Five on Broadway.com back in Tony season. I'm glad he's having a very good year. Hopefully he'll be involved in the writing in some way.

Young newcomers do not need this show to get them exposure....there are so much better shows out there..,,just sayin’

God they couldn't sing their way through that suicidal tragedy--one depressing ballad after another driving the audience to their obvious ending,

Good series though.

That already exists, its called Dear Evan Hansen."

Not even mentioning that Brian Yorkey (of, yes, Next to Normal fame) is one of the creators/showrunner(?) of 13 Reasons Why.

Between If/Then, Superhero, and 13 Reasons Why, I'm starting to think that Next to Normal was a fluke. It was simple, timely, had great performances, looked at themes that other musicals hadn't in the past. I haven't really seen anything from Kitt and Yorkey, working together or apart, that has even come close to matching Next to Normal.
