N2N on Jan 2, 2011
Copying my ramblings on the show from WoO for my own reference:
"Saw tonight's final N2N show in LA and it was everything I thought it would be and more. It truly is a feel-everything musical. The entire cast was phenomenal and I was practically sobbing at the end. Alice and Emma were the standouts for me. Didn't stage door because I was a bit over-whelmed from the show itself and I honestly don't even know what I would say to the cast! But yeah, I LOVED it and wish I could see it again. And again."
....................
"Wow, that is insane! Something pretty strange happened in Act 2 of the evening performance as well. Right before and during "Why Stay/A Promise" there was a person VERY LOUDLY moaning/groaning. I think they even threw in a shout or two. People were looking over to find out the cause of the noise but I never did find out whether it was someone getting sick or just someone who happened to express their emotions rather vocally! I'm still wondering about it...
I'm definitely glad I bought my seats in center mezz as I got to experience the full effects of the shows lighting/staging which was pretty darn important if you ask me.
Also wanted to add how much of a mess I was during "I Dreamed A Dance/There's A World". Having only heard the CR and not really knowing the full story, actually watching the scene hit me so hard.
As far as the actors, again, I loved Alice. She just made Diana so incredibly real. It was heartbreaking to watch. And Emma's voice is just gorgeous. Their "Maybe/Next To Normal" scene really got to me. I thought Asa did a great job. Really liked him. And Curt was wonderful. He really had the creepy vibe down pat when it was needed. They all just worked so darn well together!
Now back to playing "Light" over and over and over again.... "
