So, I'm a bit of an Aaron Tveit addict, and I have been listening to NEXT TO NORMAL a lot lately. Which is your favorite piece? I'm conflicted between "I Am the One" and "A Light In the Dark"...

I think they sang a song about forgetting, but I forget what it was.

So Anyway (I actually prefer Pearl Sun's rendition) and Hey #3/Perfect For You, But I think the entire OCBR (except for Lights, bit too cheesy for me) is perfection and I listen to it whenever I need something to sooth my anguished soul

"I Miss the Mountians" is gorgeous. I also love "Just Another Day."

I really like the "Heys" as a whole.

Prelude, Let There Be Light, Just Another Day. I wish someone would make a longer version of Prelude, and then a remix that can be played in a disco.

All of them. I genuinely love every song in the show.

"So Anyway (I actually prefer Pearl Sun's rendition)"

Yes I kind of did too because she could sing it quite well. I have never seen an actor struggle to sing a song more than Alice Ripley singing "So Anyway" at the end of the N2N tour. However, and I know it's a cop-out - there was something so desperate, pathetic and raw about Alice Ripley's "So Anyway" at the end of the tour that it has stuck in my memory a lot longer than Pearl Sun's.

Just Another Day, I Miss the Mountains, and I'm Alive/I'm Alive (reprise).

All of it...

But I particularly enjoy "Just Another Day," "You Don't Know/I Am," "Didn't I see This Movie," "I'm Alive (reprise)," "Hey #3," and "Anyway."

Guys, I was a huge fan of NEXT TO NORMAL. And I've never shared my favorite song...and I honestly don't have one.

The whole show was a brilliant piece. I feel funny singling out one to be the best, or my favorite. (Although, "It's Gonna Be Good" was the worst.)

I hate rock musicals. I loved NEXT TO NORMAL. Why? 'Cuz it wasn't a rock musical.

I was going to say "I've Been," but then every time I read a new post, I thought, "No, that's my favorite song."

So, basically, what I'm saying is, they're all perfect.

So Anyway. Costco had to go but I liked that too.

I think I like "Just Another Day" and "Didn't I See This Movie" the best. I also really like the way "Who's Crazy?/My Psychopharmacologist And I" way staged.

For me, it's "I've Been."

[hairspraydude1962]

"I've Been" is mine, too.

"You Don't Know", "Make Up Your Mind/She's Not There", "Superboy and the Invisible Girl", and "Didn't I See This Movie"

I love "I Miss the Mountains," but "Superboy and the Invisible Girl" is my favorite.
