Missing a show

Just listened to the NEXT TO NORMAL cast recording for the first time in a while and I can't believe how much I miss this show being on broadway. My favorite all around theater experience and cast...anyone ever get this feeling? Especially when a show closes that you loved seeing?

I can't listen to Next to Normal without full on ugly crying, so I avoid it as much as possible.

Next to Normal is my most cherished theatre experience and I haven't listened to the CR since the tour closed in July 2011 (two years ago today, actually). I can't listen to it anymore. Seeing the show felt like a very personal, intimate experience and I'm transported right back to that vulnerable spot every time I hear it. I miss it so much.

I miss N2N a lot. I am also a cryer when I get to the end. I was fortunate to see the show before the spoilers were out. That show was amazing to watch. one of the most emotionally draining shows I have ever seen.
I also miss Hairspray with a passion. I got to go to the cast party at The Palm the night Harvey went back in. It was just such a fun show.

I moved to NYC a month after Next To Normal closed. I don't know anything about the show but I am honestly thinking about flying to Chicago and seeing it at the Drury Lane Theater. Just to experience what everyone has been talking about for these last few years.

Oh god... there are tons of shows I miss. I guess the one I miss the most would be the Jekyll & Hyde tour/revival. I also regret not being able to see Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown or Follies. I was planning to fly out to NYC for a weekend to catch Women On The Verge, but then it closed early. Follies started previews the day after I left the city. I came SO close to being able to see these productions. I adore both of them. I really wish I would have been able to see them.

Just yesterday I realized how much I missed Next to Normal and spent tonight listening to the recording through again (and maybe crying a little...). I saw the tour twice with one of my closest friends, and all of my memories surrounding that show are so wonderful. I'm still really upset that I missed the chance to see it on Broadway.
