interesting. I never meant an criticism. I'm too new to the work. I popped it into my cd player this afternoon and proceeded to clean up a little, arrange mail and work on some props for our spring show. nothing grabbed me by the lapels and shook me and made me listen ( not unlike caroline or change.) Next to Normal has a few things that stop you cold in your tracks and demand attention. Aquarius demands attention. Heaven on their Minds demands attention. Hold me in Your Heart from Kinky Boots demands all things stop and that you PAY ATTENTION the first time you hear it and demands you stand when you see it performed live for the first time. this didn't happen to me on my first listening with Fun Home.
I think this is a show I could grow to love.
I think this is a show I would very much enjoy seeing if I get to NYC while it is running. I'd like to know more about it.
p.s. 2 points about Caroline or Change that stick in my mind. Farrah Fawcett was there wearing the same clothing she wore on the morning TV shows that day we saw it.
2-Talking to Jeanine Tesori about how much we loved VIOLET and having her tell us she was ready to quit writing for the theater was interesting and taken with a grain of salt. we knew she meant it was a hard road getting here.
I have GOT to make it to NYC this season.. it seems wonderful with this show, IF/THEN. ROCKY, VIOLET with Sutton an Annie Golden, the new HEDWIG (although nPH is no on my list of this to gush over) Beautiful, Madison County, .. and I haven't seen Mathlda. what else? oye. can someone see me as impoverished and slip me a cool thousand dollars please?
