The final 4 performances of the show are almost here. If you're going to the matinee today (or tomorrow) post a "final review" please. :'(

I've been going to next to normal since it opened on broadway and tomorrow's final performance will be my 9th time and I don't remember being this upset about a show closing since Rent. I'm hoping next to normal comes back soon enough.

I did get to see it once though...but that is not enough.

Oh man! I didn't realize it was still open. I thought it closed before I got back to NY. I would have tried to get tickets for a couple days ago had I known this. Bummer. Hope they have a great last few performances!! Will definitely miss the show.

Not even sure what to expect in the Booth tomorrow at 7:30pm. I've seen the show more times than I care to say, but every single time it gets me. I'm nervous for it to end, because I just don't know how to bid goodbye to such a beautiful and touching piece. I feel like we'll all be audibly weeping tomorrow night...I'll let ya'll know how it turns out! (For those of you who won't be there...which I'm guessing, on this thread, might be few in number.)

Goodbye, beautiful show.

Saw the show tonight!! Wow!! The last time I saw it was in November it was great then but this time it was Perfection! I feel like Marin and Jason look so much more comfortable in their characters. They portray their characters flawlessly. And such emotion! It was just beautiful!! And they rest of the cast was phenomenal as well. Man I can't wait to see KDM as fiyero! What a voice!

The only thing I thought was a little weird was Marin was speaking some of the line that normally are sung. Has she always done this?

Can't wait for tomorrow! I will be bringing a box of tissues:'(

^ Marin spoke through some of the lyrics the few times I saw her. Her phrasing is brilliant. I had the pleasure of seeing the show 10 times since it opened at Second Stage. I'm so glad that it had such a long run, especially when no one thought it could succeed on Broadway. Here's to the creative team, producers, cast, and crew!

I saw it for the 7th time tonight, 3rd time with the "new" cast. My mom has been wanting to see it, so tonight was her first time. I have NEVER been more affected by N2N as I was tonight. My family has gone through a lot in the past two years, and sitting there crying with my mother, holding hands, let a lot of bad feelings go and we both walked out with lighter hearts and burdens lifted off our shoulders, if only for a while.

Sorry it's not a typical review, but I just wanted to let that out.

Exactly what lyrics did she speak? (I mean, I'm trying to remember - are these like mid-song things e.g. the screeching in "I don't know", overcome with emotion in "I dreamed a dance")?

^Marin spoke several lines, but she picked them carefully, I saw them as acting choices.

Sad to see them go. Because it wasn't Just another musical (get it?) And so... Goodbye.

Once in a while Marin will speak a lyric in You Don't Know

Earlier this morning I snagged a ticket to tonight's closing show. I can't wait, it's going to be insane. I hope they have ambulances on hand for the all the fangurls.

Most of what I remember her speaking is at the end of "The Break" when she repeats "What happens if the cut, the burn the break was never in my brain, or in my blood..." and then sings "but in my soul." Don't know if that's something she continually does. Forgive me if I have some of those lyrics out of order.

What time are they drawing names for the lottery tonight?

[CockeyedOptimist2]

Posted: 1/16/11 at 11:20am

6 pm for a 7:30 show

They still have tickets to the closing show tonight??

It's going to be insane. I should videotape the winners screaming and crying and post it on Youtube.

That'd actually be really amusing. You should interview them after they get their names called and ask them each to say a few words. You could say that you're from a new internet blog and I'm sure that they'd all log on to see themselves. I could help you film it. Hilarious.
