i’ve uve been within like a 2 mile radius of me in the past 2 months, you’ll know how much ‘next to normal’ has affected and impacted my life. i can’t help but recommend it to anyone in my direct vicinity haha. it really is that good. that’s why i’m so sad that it’s closing this saturday. if u can catch it before it ends, i can’t recommend it more. but i really just wanna take a minute to appreciate the beautiful artistry that has gone into this production. i know the uk/europe theatre community has been waiting for this show to come here for a long time and although it’s not for me to say, i’d guess it’s probably been worth the wait. everything from the lighting, to the set design, every minuscule acting choice has been carefully curated. it’s a joy to witness this art piece and be moved by it so intensely. 2024 still this always be ‘the summer of next to normal’ for me and i can’t wait to see what every cast and creative goes on to do next (and pray that it gets a broadway transfer, a US audience gets to appreciate it and it gets the tony awards it deserves!)
