I like the logo. Finally they found one that doesn't suck. It totally fits the show, and purple is in this season lol.

I just feel like it's going to be a weird clash in the Booth. This ultra modern set in this ultra dated theater. New World would have been a good fit for this show.

I saw an article that said he is STILL attached to CMIFY. SO...does that mean he will only stay with N2N until it's time to leave for the West Coast? Does that mean he has no faith that N2N will last? Or that he has a short contract?

Or that the article was just plain wrong???

Hmmm.....any info anyone?

Apparently, he has said that he'll be taking a leave of absence from Next to Normal this summer to do Catch Me if You Can, but plans on returning to Next to Normal afterwards. Someone else also mentioned that an audition notice for a leave of absence has gone up for his role with dates in the summer.

So this may or may not be new (i've not noticed it before) but the image on the N2N website now has some wording on it. it says "one family is about to face the music."

While I like it, it def. makes the show seem more "sexy" than it is. It makes it look like a show about prostitution or something, I don't know. But whatever, I do like it.

Hah yeah it does look 'sexy'. But I like the purple, it pops.

Could they really not find a better tagline...?

I can't wait for the show to start previews. I hope I'm able to go to the first one. Not sure if I'm definitely going or not yet.

Random, but I was just going through my playbills. I didn't even realize I have one from Side Show tucked in there. Funny thing is that it has an understudy slip for J. Robert Spencer playing the roles usually played by Devanand N. Janki. Didn't realize this isn't Alice and Bobby's first show together!

I also notice they're now calling the show "next to normal" v.s. "Next to Normal."

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.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.
