Officially? I don't think so -- I don't think the previous versions were recorded. I'm sure there are "unofficial" versions.

Unofficial like a soundboard recording, or unofficial like straight up bootleg?

[dramamama611]

I know of the latter. (I don't know about the former...but it's possible.)

The cast recording hit #1 on this week's Billboard Cast Album Chart!

We are going to try the TKTS line for Sunday. But I don't want to see the understudies, either..not from what I've heard!

Next to Normal is planning a mini-tour.

There's information about it on the second page of this thread

The N2N facebook group just sent out a message that a new block of tickets are on sale through 10/04/09! Makes me happy to here about tickets being available past the summer rush.

Go N2N, go!

yes...I was happy to see that. Now let's hope they make it to the holiday season!

I know I'll be back several times....I'm seeing it in August and I feel I MUST see Aaron again once he returns.

There better not be any understudies when I see this July 18th. It's not typical to have understudies on on a saturday night...is it?

[dramamama611]

Posted: 6/19/09 at 10:09pm

It's never typical: you cannot plan when an actor gets sick, or has a personal "thing" to attend or takes vacation. No one cares if its a Saturday vs any other day....it's just a work day.

There was full cast tonight 6/19

dang. i hope i get lucky and have full cast. At every broadway show i've been to, no understudies have been on.
:knocks on wood:

you don't need to get lucky to see the full cast, its not like any of them are out regularly. Alice has missed I think one performance and bobby i think has missed two and as far as I know that's all the understudying that's happened.

^Aaron was out the Friday before his last show.

But in other news...I think someone mentioned that Alice plays "I Dreamed a Dance" a little more hesitantly with Kyle Dean than with Aaron. I definitely saw that tonight, and I think it really works. Alice really laid into Aaron, resting her head on his shoulder and holding on tight for dear life...but (tonight at least) she was sort of an arms length away from Kyle Dean, and had a very tentative look on her face. Loved it.

So... is N2N REALLY selling pillboxes with the logo on them?

Because I'm not sure if that's brilliant or extremely tacky.

[jordangirl]

Posted: 6/21/09 at 7:25pm

heo ~ I am so glad to hear she's keeping the tentativeness in there. I LOVED that when I saw it her first post-Tony show, but was afraid it might have only been because it was their first time on together in front of an audience. :)

Kad..Next To Normal is in fact selling pill boxes

they were at the theater when I was there Fri night

Kad--Here's a link to the Playbill store, where you can see the pill box:

Yeah, I saw the pill boxes today. I don't know. But I was impressed that the t-shirts were only 20$. yay!!

[heo1128]

Posted: 6/21/09 at 11:09pm

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about the pill boxes...pretty soon I bet they'll be selling music boxes that play "I Dreamed a Dance"...lol

[alightinthedark23]

The pill boxes seem "cheesy".

[Craww]

Posted: 6/22/09 at 5:22am

The pillboxes are ridiculous and overtly tacky. (That's why I had to buy one.)

They had to cut content from the show because it was irresponsible and insensitive, and then they turn around and sell that. What a blessed contradiction.
