I'm so disappointed this is closing! I've seen a few clips and it looks amazing but unfortunately it hasn't come to the West End and I haven't been able to get to New York

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I'm sure it will be filmed for the LC's archives (if it hasn't already been done). But if you are hoping for a theatrical or commercial release of N2N, I wouldn't hold my breath. (But stranger things have been known to happen I suppose.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

Posted: 9/28/10 at 6:13amIt was recorded for LC. I was at the performance they recorded last November. Michael Grief made speech and I have to commend the audience. There were NO CELL PHONES!!!
For those who thought NEXT TO NORMAL wouldn't have a life outside Broadway, well it's now playing in 4 cities, 9 different countries and has been translated into 6 languages.

Posted: 9/28/10 at 3:05pmOh I didn't anyone was interested. He basically said how proud he was of the show and that this recording was a great honor and asked the audience to be extra good (worked I guess). That was basically it I can't really recall details because it was almost a year ago, but the performance was amazing.
