I cannot be any more excited about Next to Normal. Sadly, the Broadway show is closing on January 16. Who cares, right? We've got our own N2N. And perfect casting, I must say. Atlantis sure made the right choice to open their season with this blockbuster musical. And I like the concept of their new promo art-- very different and intriguing. Although I already know and have watched the musical (on bootlegs), it gives me a sense of intrigue, what with the broken concrete in the back. Maybe it has something to do with their set? I am personally in favor of the original 3-story set, but they have to make something new, right? Let's be more creative.
