Sh*t.
I know the flyers and rumors suggested a January exit, but I was hoping it would survive until Kids Night. Really wanted my daughter to see it.
Might be paying a final visit during my early january NYC visit.

And I finally got round to a New York trip in the new year - this was number one on my list of shows to see. I was praying it would stay open.
Congrats to all involved, 'Next to Normal' achieved so much in the run it had.
Everything in life...is only for now.

Posted: 11/10/10 at 3:28pmI think that with the amount of fans that there may be a surge. Does anyone think they will extend?

It's ok, it's closing because Andrew Lloyd Webber is working on a prequel called "Normal: Gabe Never Dies."

Posted: 11/10/10 at 3:32pmNot terribly surprising. Sad to see it go, but I'm grateful for the four visits I've been able to make to the Booth and everyone involved with the production should be very proud of beating all the odds. I'll miss this show.

Posted: 11/10/10 at 4:02pmwhat no one has asked if it's moving back off-broadway or if Alice will be returing for the final perfs? I'm being sarcastic.

It's not surprising, but I'm not going to lie, my heart sank when I read this news. 
This show means so much to me and I don't want to say goodbye. But I've seen it four times and my fifth will be next Thursday and I will be seeing the final performance.
Brava on an absolutely FANTASTIC run!

But in all seriousness, congrats on a great run!
