I rushed for the matinee today- first time actually seeing the show since 2st, front row center baby!! Cannot get more incredible than that (imo at least) 
I've pretty much already more than expressed my adoration of this show, and my awe at how much better it's gotten since when it first started. But really, truly, seeing it again today reaffirmed that, to me at least, it is as close to perfect as a show could get. Of course there's still the occasional little silly line here and there that could always be tweaked, but that's just getting super nit picky. All in all, the show really could not get much better. It flows brilliantly, there is not a single scene or dialogue exchange that doesn't need to be there, it's a 100% complete emotional journey, and it's just.. it's a roller coaster ride that starts the minute that opening chord plays, and you couldn't get off even if you wanted to.
Oh and maybe it's just because I was RIGHT in front of one of the speakers, or maybe they just have a really great sound system in that theater, but the music has never sounded better. All 6 of those people on stage can belt their freaking lungs out when it's necessary, but also know when to restrain it to further the emotions of what's going on. They.. actually sounded quite a bit better live I think than they do on the recording! And they sound great on the recording! But just.. they can let it rip man. It was ridiculous, during I Am The One and Light and stuff.
And obviously, all of the performances. Perfection. As if it hasn't been said enough, give Alice the freaking Tony NOW please. haha. Ug she is SO AMAZING. And Aaron too. I reeeally really love Aaron (and no, not just because he happens to be insanely insanely gorgeous and I kinda couldn't stop staring at him the whole time haha). He just has this way of playing Gabe, where he's very... taunting. He seems to get so much enjoyment out of watching these people suffer because of him. And yet he's still innately likable. I don't know, I just really cannot imagine anyone else being able to do what he does up there.
But yeah, Jenn, Bobby, Adam and Louis are all SO fantastic too. I will say that I still missed Brian as Dan quite a bit, but Bobby just played him so genuine, and you could tell that he was trying so hard to hold everything together. So it was very very difficult to not like him.
Ok I'm so rambling again, but yeah. Basically, I am more in love with this show than ever and if it does not get the nice long run it deserves, I will be insanely upset.
That is all :P

I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.
