Next to Normal off days, or 'Help a clueless Brit'#1

Posted: 7/8/09 at 12:11pm

Hi all

I'm based in London and coming to New York for the first time in September (3rd-8th).
I want to cram in as many shows as possible, but I'm desperate to catch Next to Normal. I wanted to know if there were fixed days that the cast don't perform - I'm keen to see the full cast if possible. I know in London it's hard to predict this far ahead, but if anyone knows of any booked holiday days that would be handy.

Also, anyone got any tips for cheap tickets or shows I should catch that I may not know about?!

Well, Aaron Tveit is currently on a hiatus to do Catch Me If You Can. He is supposed to return on September 7, so if you wanted to see the full OBC, wait until the end of your trip.

Kyle Dean Massey is pretty good, though.

there aren't any N2N performances on Wednesdays, to answer your question about that.

"They can get you in East Hampton for wearing red shoes on a Thursday, and all that sort of thing. I don't know whether you know that, I mean..do you know that? They can get you for almost anything--it's a mean, nasty Republican town!"

To date the cast has a really excellent record. There isn't a lot of absenteeism at all.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Thanks for your help. Another option is that I come in late October and also catch Ragtime, which I love.
Is it likely the Next to Normal OBC will still be around then?

Almost definitely. Except for Aaron, we have been told they all have year long contracts. Aaron leaves in Jan/Feb to pursue Catch Me If You Can.
