I saw the musical Next to Normal last Sunday and it was awesome. The actors were amazing...the music was beautiful...the set and lighting were just brilliant but the play by itself is beyond great. The last time I was moved that way by something I saw on stage was when I saw The Crucible with my sister several years ago (to think that I actually saw WICKED in the US just last year). I knew I would be moved to tears but I didn't anticipate that it would have such a strong impact on me...until now, I catch myself shedding tears recalling some of the lines from the play.
I suppose what makes this play really powerful is its bold portrayal of life...how it can be so f*cked up at times (or most of the time) and how it may not always have a happy ending....however it ends with a hopeful reminder that sooner or later..there will be light.
