I take it you haven't seen If/Then yet. I think this is really inferior to next to normal in the material, the book and the score.

Next to normal took YEARS to develop. If/Then feels like it was slapped together and brought to Broadway in a haste. I usually love the music of Kitt and Yorkey but I really didn't like If/Then at all. (The lyrics were particularly atrocious.)

I'm not convinced If/Then is the savior of the original musical.
