"Perfect for US": The NEXT TO NORMAL love thread! — Page 11

Another reason to be jealous of people living in Australia.

Loving, loving, loving the cast recording!!

If you knew nothing about the show, I would say that you shouldn't listen and go into the show knowing as little as possible, but clearly you've seen past incarnations, so it wouldn't ruin any plot points or anything of the sort for you. I wouldn't be able to hold off listening either haha.

Either should be perfectly fine. :) Enjoy!

(I asked about opening night tix on Saturday and the guy said at that point he didn't think they were going to have any to sell. He said check back a couple of days before and IF they were getting any it would probably be then.)

Yeah...I have a ticket for Sunday, but am getting up early my first day of break (Thursday) to rush it. Cannot wait!!

---

jordangirl, out of curiosity, if you've already seen it over thirty times (including twice in previews already) and are going a third time on Sunday, why go again on Thursday? Isn't that a little much?

somethingwicked ~ I haven't seen it over 30 times. And it's my money, so what does it matter?

---

Thank you TheBoyDonwstairs.

And it's not like I'm seeing it to the exclusion of other shows. I see other things too. But this is my favorite, and if I choose to support it, why does it matter?

---

Sorry ~ it's hard to read tone on the internet.

The bottom line is, I love this show and it hits something for me that I need. I can't pinpoint it more specifically. I do see other things as well ~ I just choose to support this show by repeat business. I believe in it and want to support it and the cast as much as I can. (And before anyone asks, yes, I have paid full price for a couple of Broadway-run tickets...TDF once, the $60 discount for one and my family's tickets, and this will be the first time I've rushed it)

So, I saw the N2N for the first time since the 2nd Stage run today, and I was blown away. A lot of things really threw me, and I loved all of the changes they made. They really seem well thought out and for the better, especially the changes to Henry. He's enormously more likeable now; he seemed a little annoying at 2nd Stage. The ending was beautiful and touching and much tighter than it used to be, although Dan still sings a few too many ballads for my taste. Aaron has Gabe down perfectly, though, Alice is fierce as always, and I really related to Natalie; her character seems more fleshed out as well. Was there ever a song list in the playbill? I seem to remember one, but it wasn't in the one I got today...Anyways, the whole cast was so lovely and wonderful at the stagedoor.

That being said, I know some of you here are going to be at the Booth multiple times in the next few weeks, so as a favor, could someone possibly PM/email me when they restock the shirts? I love the new logo so much, and the merch guy said they only had XL shirts left. I'm a small Thanks!

I'll be there tonight too!

Were the side orchestra seats still the same rush price?

That's great that they offered more seats instead of just cutting off the rush. I've had rush experiences where they offer seats that they normally don't offer for rush because the rush seats sold out and experiences where I was just turned away after the rush seats sold out.
