I enjoyed this so much last year, I decided to do a consolidated top 10 list again this year for the things the world that struck me as being the best of the year. 1) Will! He had the top spot last year and he does this year too (and wouldn’t it be wrong if [...]
Tonight we got to join an intimate crowd at the 92Y Tribeca for “On Stage with Next to Normal,” a panel discussion with the Tony winning writers Tom Kitt (composer) and Brian Yorkey (Librettist, Lyricist), the show’s director Michael Greif and producer David Stone. The panel talked about the creation of the show from when [...]
Next to Normal (@N2NBroadway) continues to break new ground online. Back in May, I wrote about how the show was giving a complete performance on Twitter.

The great news: The excellent Billy Elliot nabbed 15 nominations, which ties it for The Producers for the most nominations received by a single show. Also, the amazing and moving Next to Normal racked up 11 (making it [...]
We’re always on the look out for an original musical (as in something not based on a book, play, movie, novel…etc.) and we’d had our eye on Next to Normal. We jumped to go see it though when Brian saw it not once, but twice, during his recent visit here. So, for this year’s anniversary [...]
