Yeah, someone seems to have uploaded 90% of it, but not the dance sequence. Hmm.
YES, that's exactly the problem! I think there was one part (I'll admit I didn't watch the whole thing) where there's actual editing. Just putting a song to music isn't the same thing as editing a video to make it fit with music.
And I don't know, maybe we have! But I think it's actually you've talked about him, but... not to me, I just happened to read it? That's probably what it is. I mentioned him very briefly in my "about me" post I made a week or so ago, and I think I was talking about him with scout27. He is the Next to Normal guy! Alex, I love that you know that.
Have you seen the actual play? What did you think? Yes, I have seen the musical (and luckily, I got to see it before Aaron left to go do Catch Me If You Can out in Seattle), and it was so wonderful. I'll admit that I was not all that into it for the first fifteen minutes or so, but then it really picked up. It is such a powerful work, with such strong performances from the entire cast (not just Alice Ripley). There's a surprise twist (or a couple) that would make the song they performed at the Tonys make more sense, and that could, possibly, change your opinion of it. And Aaron Tveit, as much as I adore him, kind of overdoes it with the sexuality (which, given that they are mother/son — not the spoiler — shouldn't be there). But I'm sure he and the director have their reasons. And as much as I love the song he sang with Stockard Channing, having him sing it with Stockard Channing was awkward. All the stroking of her fur stole and stuff weirded me out. I do really like that song, though. What a voice that man has. But yes! I loved it (the musical). My mom really liked it. It's not a "traditional" musical by far, but, as I said, it's really powerful. The song was weird, but I really do think that once you know the context, it makes more sense. I'd be happy to tell you more about it should you want to know (and I can also tell you the BIG SPOILER that would add insight, if you're actually interested).
