I have loved this show for a long, long time. This is great news.
A work of art is an invitation to love.

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

WOW, so excited.
EDIT
They're closing the balcony to turn it into an 800 seat theatre? Interesting choice.

I think that's a very good idea. It's a really small show. The smaller they can make the venue, the better :)

Hurray! Good for them, and I'm very excited to see this.
However, the only Tony shake-up this will create will be in Leading Actress, as well as perhaps supporting actor. The Best Musical award was determined quite some time ago.

I am so happy and excited. I have loved this show since it was Feeling Electric and I am just so happy that it's come this far.

Concerning the picture on the home page, are those Joan Crawford's eyes?

Clowns, it'll shake up the nominations for best musical, and while i agree it won't be Billy elliot (not for qualities sake but because BE is Best Musical fodder, designed specifically to win the award) it will probably sneak in with a nomination.

Looks like they're cheapest seat is $25, which is great. I wonder if they'll do a rush anyway?

I highly doubt that. Though it's only real competition is "Story of my life" (unless TOS possibly comes back...) so I guess it's not impossible.
I still doubt it will create a shakeup. SOML is a wonderful little show but not so sure it really had a chance anyway. They'll just look for a show to fill in the space between BILLY, 9 TO 5, and SHREK.
Nothing really changes in the Best Musical category.

Exciting! I haven't really paid much attention to this show since it was called Feeling Electric, but I definitely want to see it.

I completely disagree. This is a huge Tonys shakeup and could change the outcome of BEST MUSICAL, BEST SCORE, BEST ACTRESS, and BEST FEATURED ACTOR.

See, that's totally sad that it doesn't have a great shot at winning the Best Musical Tony. I'm sure Billy Elliot is absolutely amazing (I need to get on seeing it, actually haha), but I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume it does not NEED to win. Next to Normal... would REALLY benefit from winning it I think. It's a tiny original musical about mental illness- and it's an incredible show, but that still doesn't mean it doesn't need all the help it can get, you know?
Billy Elliot will do just fine no matter what
*sigh*

I don't care either way.
I'm not really a fan of any of the contending musicals except 9 TO 5.
I'm just saying... WickedRocks... there's no way this show beats the three biggie's. They're all popular favorites.
