Music and Theatre 101, Entry Numero Deux

Thank you to my wonderful boyfriend Brett for buying me tickets to see this musical.  One of the best birthday presents I have ever received.  This show was absolutely mesmerizing.

"Valium is my favorite color"

"Next To Normal"
This is one show that definitely has the ability to tug at your heart again and again...

Asa Somers, who plays Ripley’s onstage husband, Dan, held his own remarkably against the powerhouse, Tony-winning performance by Alice Ripley. Somers’ vocals were incredible and they blended perfectly with his son’s, Gabe (Curt Hansen), vocals.  Somer’s performance added an intensity to Dan that was just breathtaking.  And then there’s Emma Hunton who plays the jaded, sarcastic daughter, Natalie. Her crystalline vocals never stopped being impressive. Her rendition of “Superboy and the Invisible Girl” was spot-on. Hunton raised the stakes in a way that created a beautiful arc to Natalie’s character.  Henry (Preston Sadleir), Natalie’s boyfriend, also rounded out the fiercely talented cast. Sadleir did a marvelous job with the role and complemented Hunton’s intensity with his calm/easy-going personality.  At points, Ripley struggled vocally to get every note out but you don’t care because her dramatic intentions are so intensely motivated. There’s never a second on stage when you don’t believe that she’s not actually struggling with bi-polarism/schizophrenia.
