Best Show on Broadway By Far. Bye Bye Billy, Sep 24, 2009

reviewer: Anonymous from Anytown, AT 55555

This masterpiece makes you feel every emotion imaginable in ways you thought couldnt be felt. I just went to NYC and saw Next to Normal and Billy Elliot and after viewing both i can fairly say that Next to Normal deserved best musical. The score and plot was so much deeper then Billy Elliot. There was not one weak song in the show. From uptunes like "I'm Alive" to soft ballads like "How Could I Ever Forget" the show just makes you feel the whole time.In addition to the great songs the cast was crack clean.Tony winner Alice Ripley blew up the Booth Theatre in the character Diana which was perfectly portrayed. The loving and caring father, Dan, played by J. Robert Spencer, made you feel for him and the struggles of his family. The two children Natalie (Jennifer Damiano) and Gabe (Kyle Dean Massey) were picture perfect in character and grasping the hearts of the audiance. Henry (Adam Chandler-Berat) was a loving aand dedicated boyfriend whille Lous Hobson plays the 2 doctors perfect. N2N!

reviewer: Guy de Saint-Preux from Berlin, Germany

Endlich mal wieder Show mit einer großartigen (Rock-)Musik,
tollen Texten und unter die Haut gehenden Handlung. Und die
Darsteller sind hervorragend.

Words fail me..., Sep 17, 2009

reviewer: Taylor from San Antonio, TX

I would agree with "Kathy"s review of Aug. 5. A highly emotional experience for me. It's a show in which every element seems to work to move the story forward. I'd see it again if I lived in NYC.

I would take my mother to see this, but not children under, say, fourteen.
