Next to Normal Broadway Transfer Fall 2026 — Page 3

That’s not Jamie Lloyd’s production, that’s the character, and that’s the musical. Nicole was small and dare I say boring. Glenn was everything, over the top, hammy, crazy, camp. Nicole was too much and not enough

I can take or leave Jack Wolfe but they're missing out if they don't bring Eleanor Worthington Cox over, I thought she was the real star of the show.

a point I made a couple years ago that you stole from me. Complaining about how The Outsiders won a plurality and the ace Suffs and Hell’s Kitchen split the vote. In a two way race, Suffs would have definitely won and the Tonys need to move to a rank choice voting system."

you just exposed yourself as a fraud. You've been Merkin since December. Just admit you have an issue and go away.

She was remarkable.

Paddington isn’t transferring. It’s way too risky as it’s not a huge title in America"

To my understanding from someone affiliated with one of the producers, the current timeline will be to expect a transfer announcement after the Oliviers (where it’s a candidate to win quite a few), but timing will be gauged based on success/possible extension of TITANIQUE. Their current goal is October previews/November opening at the St. James.

As for the nomination-likely roles, I think because it’s a team of 2-3 people to make Paddington work, I would see them getting a Special Tony Award. The other roles that are awards bait are Millicent Clyde (Victoria Hamilton Barritt is DELICIOUS in that role), Mrs. Bird (Bonnie Langford is a hoot), and Mr. Curry (Tom Edden is a master of slapstick).

Now - back to the topic. Levy, Wolfe, and Cox all are hopefully coming out. I agree that Cox’s Natalie (especially during her crashout) actually gave one of the stronger and accurate performances in a show full of them. (In my job, I encounter many crashed out teens unfortunately).

I would really want Jaime Parker to come over with the rest of them because I worry that I’ll see it again and it will feel incomplete without him, especially his heartbreaking final scene with Jack. People are already pushing for Aaron Tveit to play Dan and, although he is the right age (slightly older than J. Robert Spencer in the OBC), he is not “dad” material. There are so many others that can be considered - Sebastian Arcelus, Claybourne Elder, John Gallagher, Jr. to name a few

I'll just keep assuming the entire West End cast is transferring until the revival becomes official and the company is announced.

Is there any truth to an actual Aaron Tveit rumour or is this wishful thinking? TBH if they managed to get Aaron, Jack seems to be getting a following of younger fans from Hadestown (more than I would expect from a typical replacement there seems to be a bit of genuine buzz), C Levy while maybe not a 'name' continues to raise her profile year after year....this revival could be a smash hit!

It would certainly be a good role for an A list actress who can sing - Kate Hudson? Anne Hathaway? Amanda Seyfried? Cynthia?

Angelina Jolie would probably be pretty great in it

Having Aaron play Dan would generate a lot of buzz for this revival. He and Cassie sang N2N at a Tom Kitt event at Studio 54 last year and to add to the rumor mill, there are recent pictures of him and Jack meeting. All complete speculation (or wishful thinking), but this is entirely plausible.

Angelina Jolie would give us a wonderfully disturbed performance

Listening/looking to Aaron Tveit's "I am the one" at Studio 54 I really think he is completely right for the part. His voice actually sounds like an adult dad version of Jack Wolfe (who is also in the song). His physical appearance to me is morphing into Steven Pasquale type masculine father look, even if some people see him in his underwear in Chess and can't imagine it :P. Plus the nostalgic factor and box office draw. I really think Aaron Tveit is 100% the best and right person for this role. I have a feeling it's going to happen - would he really want to turn down this part? And who could they possibly get that would be a better fit in terms of all these factors?

It's amazing that we already essentially have one of the most important parts of the score on record with both Levy, Aaron and J Wolfe all singing together (I am the one). It sounds great. I think it's going to happen.

That’s going to be some Best Actress Tony season with Levy, Rachel, and whoever is playing Effie
