Next to Normal - Off-Broadway, 20/02/2008
Jennifer Damiano, Brian d'Arcy James, Alice Ripley, Asa Somers, Aaron Tveit, Corey Boardman (u/s Henry)
-Filmed with a narrow range of vision. Lots of heads in the way block the action, but what's visible is clear and good, and good sound. However, it's one narrow rectangular strip, so that might lead to frustration. Coverups and blackouts abound.

- Beautiful capture of the full original cast, from the orchestra. This hands down is the best capture of the original cast. This was done early in Alice's run, before she had strained her voice. Wonderful to revisit this show in all its glory!

Alice Ripley (Diana), Brian D'Arcy James (Dan), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr.Fine/Madden)
-Alice, Brian, and Jenn's last performance. B+, lower rating due to the sheer amount of whooping, hollering and stopping-of-the show which is totally inappropriate for this show.

Alice Ripley, Asa Somers, Curt Hansen, Emma Hunton, Preston Sadlier, Jeremy Kushnier
- Amazing performance and great filming. Almost the full show (Missing the Make Up Your Minds and A Light in the Dark). Other than that, full and what is captured is captured great. First 5 minutes are "iffy" due to a friend wanting to see if they could film... turns out, they couldn't. A bit of spotlight washout, as some of the screencaps show, but it doesn't take away from a powerful performance. Ripley was in top notch condition this show.
