You two are still on the "Alice is crazy" thing?
Isn't it time to let that go?

Sorry, AdamGreer. I am a horrible person. I will refrain from making fun of N2N's lovely fans and Ripley's charming online behavior.
<3 love ya.

I love Alice Ripley AND think she's crazy. Do I have a place at the table?
I think this is really exciting. I like Next to Normal and certainly love a chance to see Marin sing. And Jordan, this DOES explain why she was bubble lettering the Enron Playbills. Collectors item?

Jason Danieley is adorable.

Danieley has an incredible voice. I think he will sing the score wonderfully.

Marin's voice being appropriate for the score is still questionable. But I cannot wait to see her.

Marin has a kick-ass belt. She'll sing the score differently than Alice for sure, but I think he voice will adapt well to the music's vocal demands. I'm really looking forward to seeing what she does with the role.

Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I think fans are concerned that she has neither a rock belt (Ripley) or pop belt (Phillips). He belt is very Broadway. But I think she'll surprise us all.

I'm worried she'll attempt to sing it in her head voice.

So excited for this! I think they'll both be amazing.

Marin's belt, at times, actually reminds me of Jessica's sound. That was my first thought when I heard she was cast. Marin is a bit more elegant, but there are definite similarities.

This intelligent post from ATC perfectly describes my feelings on Mazzie's casting (though I disagree in that I've liked her work in several of the things I've seen her in.) It also raises a very valid point that has yet to be discussed here in terms of her performance style:
I really like Danieley and I think he may be wonderful in this.
I have not seen Mazzie in a performance I've liked. She's cold, her performances are calculated, and as Hepburn once said about Streep, "You can see the wheels turning" when she performs. She thinks about it too much.
Diana is about a woman who is not in control. If Mazzie is anything in performance, it's controlled...

Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.

Mazzie is a wonderful actress, period. She is not cold and calculating. I saw her and Danieley in "110 in the Shade" in LA a few years ago and her first act curtain number, Old Maid, was overwhelmingly emotional and true. Have no fear for her abaility to dig deep in this part.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!
