Aaron Tveit Returns To Broadway's NEXT TO NORMAL September 7 — Page 2

It's a horse from Boston!

I never saw Aaron in Wicked...I've only seen him in N2N...

I'll be there that evening as well. Orchestra A2.

But the people who praise Aaron are from the Wicked colt.

That's an absolutely ridiculous statement to make, CSon. Tveit's performance was praised by lots of people outside of this so called cult, including Ben Brantley, who believed he should have been nominated for the Tony.

Personally, I saw Aaron in next to normal (at 2nd Stage) long before I saw him in Wicked. Of all the shows I've seen him in (n2n, Hairspray, Saved, and Wicked), next to normal is by far his best work to date.

When my friend saw it, she didn't understand why the son was "gay." I then proceeded to tell her he wasn't, or that it wasn't talked about in the show, and she seemed confused because he was obviously playing it like a gay men would play the role, ha. Take that how you will folks.

Rentboy- hahaha yes!! I also took my best friend to see the show and at intermission her one comment was "it looks like the dead son wants to have sex with everyone" I asked her what she meant and she said that every time Tveit stands behind a family member he gives them his intense "stare." I thought it was hilarious and couldn't help but notice how much he does it in the second act.

anyways thank you drunk chita- I too, have never gotten the appeal of Tveit. Not only does he seem to exude arrogance every time I see him but also I find him to be one of the weaker actors who are still getting work in NY. I saw N2N at Second Stage and thought his acting was laughably awful. I burst out laughing on his line readings of "I think you're brave mom" and others. Anyways to his credit when I saw it on Broadway I thought he had improved a lot although I still think that a Tony nomination is ridiculous. I know I'm in the minority but i can't stand him and am not looking forward to stomaching him in Catch Me if you Can but will do so for Norbert and curiosity for the show.

I don't think he's awful, and he has a great voice, but the times I've seen Next to Normal he just didn't seem all that into it. He seemed to be rushing all of his lines and the big emotional pay off at the end of the show was just sort of given a "whatever" feel, so that kind of peeved me.

Also, I can understand the lack of a Tony nomination. His role is the only one of the main four that doesn't really have a character arch, as there isn't really one to give him. He's just kind of there to play a stock "all american boy" character that Ripley's character dreams up. There's not much else to really do with it except flail around the set at every given point.

when I saw the show (N2N)..Tveit seemed very into the show and the role...I don't know what anyone else could possibly say..he seems to give it his all

I am seeing N2N once Aaron returns. Is it likely I will be able to catch him at the stage door?

Hot damn!

I assure you Aaron is vomiting right now at the thought of you tweens/trolls looking at his pictures. Get lives, all of you.

Uh, good response. Sure, whatever. You're still a loser.

Well, I would not be suprised if people are camping out now for Aaron's first back.
