I also liked the lighting comments, and I laughed at the joked when they first appeared, but they seemed to just repeat themselves and lost the laugh for me. And I love Broadway Abridged...some of the best parodies he's done are for show I actually really enjoy as well :).
But this made me go re-read the Tonys Abridged which is made of win.

Posted: 6/22/09 at 3:19pmMy favorite is "Guess the Lazy Lyric!" and how much everyone is talking about how important of a show it is. Hilarious.

Not one of the best, but I found it funny.
It seemed kinda thrown together, short and choppy. The last half was very "meh".
I thought the umlauts over Alice's lines were funny, but got repetative and were not really enough to describe how she can murder the pronounciation of a word. Jen's first ffffff*ck was hilarious, the others went back and forth from tired to funny.
The one line that totally cracked me up:
ALWAYS ALICE RIPLEY DO!
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

(FTR, I am obsessed with N2N, but still find this funny.)

Posted: 6/23/09 at 7:04amThey've actually cut down on Natalie's use of the f-word a lot. THAT part read more like a leftover from Second Stage.
LIVE THAT LESSON!!!!!!

Posted: 6/23/09 at 10:08amIt's barely abridged. It's just too long and too many repeated jokes. But, still, I thought it was pretty funny. There were a couple moments where I actually laughed audibly.
#38re: Broadway Abridged: Next to Normal
Posted: 6/23/09 at 11:15amIt started out funny, but got old.
#39re: Broadway Abridged: Next to Normal
Posted: 6/23/09 at 11:19amAgreed, this one got old fast. Unfortunate, cause I usually love most of Broadway Abridged.

Posted: 6/23/09 at 12:57pmI thought this was hysterical. N2N fans are too up tight.
