Alice Ripley (Diana), Michael Berry (u/s Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (t/r Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine)
-Recorded from Row H Mezz, dead center. Some movement is audible, especially during I Miss The Mountains due to me silencing my phone (as opposed to having it on vibrate) because I kept getting texts, and I did drop the recorder on the floor during Superboy and The Invisible Girl, and it stayed there til the end of Act I. Oh, and I apologize in advance for the crying.

-Notes: Recorded front row rush seats. First act Bobby played Dan, second act it was Michael due to Bobby still being sick (which if you listen at the beginning of the show - it's especially apparent in 'Who's Crazy/My Psychopharmacologist and I' - you can tell he is still feeling bad). Missing first 30-ish seconds of the second act because I was caught off guard and, though I fully expected it, was still a little stunned by the announcement about Michael!Dan.

Alice Ripley (Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Meghann Fahy (u/s Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
-Master Notes: Recorded from standing room on the left side. Meghann has grown leaps and bounds as Natalie since the first time I saw her in June. She’s a wonderful Natalie and I like parts of her performance a lot better than Jenn. Alice sounds tired and a little bored at times but still gives a great performance. The audio itself is a little quiet and muffled but there isn’t a whole lot of hiss. I took something out of my bag during the scene after I Miss the Mountains/before It’s Gonna be Good and you can hear people talking in the lobby during the quieter scenes in the 2nd act. Other than that an ok audio.
-Notes: Recorded from standing room on the left side.

Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
-Notes: FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC performance from Jessica. Jennifer sounded a little vocally rough (don't know if she's sick or what), but she sang a few of her lines in head voice instead of belting, and she completely dropped one of the lines in "Superboy and the Invisible Girl". Recorded from the mezzanine. Nice, clean audio.

Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Jessica continues to amaze me as Diana. Such a strong powerful voice and really effective acting. The rest of the cast was really strong, too. Nice clear audio recorded from mid-mezzanine. It was a near-sold-out show, and the audience was very reactive to the show (laughing, gasping, crying). I was a horrible emotional mess, especially in Act Two, so I apologize for sniffling/blowing my nose.
Next to Normal - Broadway, 14/03/2010 Matinee [juniper47’s master]
Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Meghann Fahy (u/s Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Another FANTASTIC performance from Jessica. It was my first time seeing Meghann as Natalie and she totally blew me away with her powerful voice.
Next to Normal - Broadway, 16/03/2010 [juniper47’s master]
Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Excellent performance from everyone. There is some noise from this dumb lady who got some Pringles and soda at intermission, an because she couldn't bring them to her seat she stood at the back of the mezzanine - right next to me - and crunched on her chips, chewing with her mouth open. She did that for like 15 minutes at the top of Act Two. There was also a girl across the aisle from me who crinkled her bag of M&M's really loudly now and then, but at least that's softer because she was farther away from me.
Aside from that, it's a nice clean audio. Includes BC/EFA speech.
Next to Normal - Broadway, 18/03/2010 [juniper47’s master]
Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: This was one of my favorite performances of the week. Again, it was a very crowded audience that was very into the show, and there was A LOT of laughter in te funny scenes -- to the point where the actors had to wait for the laughing to subside in order to continue.
Very emotional performance from Jessica. She changes her Diana with every performance. No two shows are ever even remotely the same.
I accidentally left my cell phone on for the first 20 minutes of Act One but luckily it was on silent, but there is a TINY bit of interference when an email came in. But it was very brief and I don't think it was really all that noticeable on the audio.
Includes BC/EFA speech.
Next to Normal - Broadway, 20/03/2010 Matinee [juniper47’s master]
Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), Michael Berry (u/s Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Recorded from the front row lotto seats, right in front of the speaker, so there's a tiny bit of echo from it being the front row, but very minimal as being in front of the speaker makes it sound really nice.
Jessica's Diana is quite different when she plays opposite Michael's Dan (as opposed to Bobby's Dan) -- much tighter chemistry and their dynamics are almost more intimate. She is still INSANELY fierce and I love, love, LOVE her acting so much. This was my second time seeing Michael as Dan, and I like him somewhat more with Jessica than when I saw him with Alice (again, due to their chemistry). A fantastic performance overall.
Includes BC/EFA speech, in which Kyle says "y'all" and the cast laughs at him, and he retorts, "Hey, don't laugh at me! I'm from Arkansas!"

-Master Notes: Great recording from the orchestra pit. A few "unfortunates": I had a foot-tapper behind me, and the orchestra pit floor is hollow, which didn't help things, so it was unfortunately picked up. Also, the guy directly behind me dropped his freaking phone or whatever on the floor during the most intimate, quiet moment before "Light." On top of that, it seems like there's an epidemic of coughs going around in Pittsburgh at the moment, as I'm sure you'll hear.

Laura McDonald (Diana), Patrick Jones (Gabe), Joe Nolan (Dan), Kat Geertsen (Natalie), Ryan Stajmiger (Henry), Michael Stoddard (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
- Master Notes: When this community theater did Rent a few years back, a local paper commented that even if the national tour which had recently passed through was more polished and professional, that Greendale's production had an "organic feel" that made it "more appealing." Though Next to Normal is a different sort of show, I felt the same way comparing this production to the professional production I'd seen at the Milwaukee Rep the year before. I found it easy to connect emotionally with these performances, and in particular I loved the Natalie and Henry relationship here. I continue to be impressed with the quality of this community theater.

-Recorded from Row H Mezz, dead center. Some movement is audible, especially during I Miss The Mountains due to me silencing my phone (as opposed to having it on vibrate) because I kept getting texts, and I did drop the recorder on the floor during Superboy and The Invisible Girl, and it stayed there til the end of Act I. Oh, and I apologize in advance for the crying.

-Notes: Recorded front row rush seats. First act Bobby played Dan, second act it was Michael due to Bobby still being sick (which if you listen at the beginning of the show - it's especially apparent in 'Who's Crazy/My Psychopharmacologist and I' - you can tell he is still feeling bad). Missing first 30-ish seconds of the second act because I was caught off guard and, though I fully expected it, was still a little stunned by the announcement about Michael!Dan.

Alice Ripley (Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Meghann Fahy (u/s Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
-Master Notes: Recorded from standing room on the left side. Meghann has grown leaps and bounds as Natalie since the first time I saw her in June. She’s a wonderful Natalie and I like parts of her performance a lot better than Jenn. Alice sounds tired and a little bored at times but still gives a great performance. The audio itself is a little quiet and muffled but there isn’t a whole lot of hiss. I took something out of my bag during the scene after I Miss the Mountains/before It’s Gonna be Good and you can hear people talking in the lobby during the quieter scenes in the 2nd act. Other than that an ok audio.
-Notes: Recorded from standing room on the left side.

Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
-Notes: FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC performance from Jessica. Jennifer sounded a little vocally rough (don't know if she's sick or what), but she sang a few of her lines in head voice instead of belting, and she completely dropped one of the lines in "Superboy and the Invisible Girl". Recorded from the mezzanine. Nice, clean audio.

Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Jessica continues to amaze me as Diana. Such a strong powerful voice and really effective acting. The rest of the cast was really strong, too. Nice clear audio recorded from mid-mezzanine. It was a near-sold-out show, and the audience was very reactive to the show (laughing, gasping, crying). I was a horrible emotional mess, especially in Act Two, so I apologize for sniffling/blowing my nose.

Notes: Another FANTASTIC performance from Jessica. It was my first time seeing Meghann as Natalie and she totally blew me away with her powerful voice.

Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Excellent performance from everyone. There is some noise from this dumb lady who got some Pringles and soda at intermission, an because she couldn't bring them to her seat she stood at the back of the mezzanine - right next to me - and crunched on her chips, chewing with her mouth open. She did that for like 15 minutes at the top of Act Two. There was also a girl across the aisle from me who crinkled her bag of M&M's really loudly now and then, but at least that's softer because she was farther away from me.
Aside from that, it's a nice clean audio. Includes BC/EFA speech.
Next to Normal - Broadway, 18/03/2010 [juniper47’s master]
Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: This was one of my favorite performances of the week. Again, it was a very crowded audience that was very into the show, and there was A LOT of laughter in te funny scenes -- to the point where the actors had to wait for the laughing to subside in order to continue.
Very emotional performance from Jessica. She changes her Diana with every performance. No two shows are ever even remotely the same.
I accidentally left my cell phone on for the first 20 minutes of Act One but luckily it was on silent, but there is a TINY bit of interference when an email came in. But it was very brief and I don't think it was really all that noticeable on the audio.
Includes BC/EFA speech.
Next to Normal - Broadway, 20/03/2010 Matinee [juniper47’s master]
Jessica Phillips (u/s Diana), Michael Berry (u/s Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Recorded from the front row lotto seats, right in front of the speaker, so there's a tiny bit of echo from it being the front row, but very minimal as being in front of the speaker makes it sound really nice.
Jessica's Diana is quite different when she plays opposite Michael's Dan (as opposed to Bobby's Dan) -- much tighter chemistry and their dynamics are almost more intimate. She is still INSANELY fierce and I love, love, LOVE her acting so much. This was my second time seeing Michael as Dan, and I like him somewhat more with Jessica than when I saw him with Alice (again, due to their chemistry). A fantastic performance overall.
Includes BC/EFA speech, in which Kyle says "y'all" and the cast laughs at him, and he retorts, "Hey, don't laugh at me! I'm from Arkansas!"

-Master Notes: Great recording from the orchestra pit. A few "unfortunates": I had a foot-tapper behind me, and the orchestra pit floor is hollow, which didn't help things, so it was unfortunately picked up. Also, the guy directly behind me dropped his freaking phone or whatever on the floor during the most intimate, quiet moment before "Light." On top of that, it seems like there's an epidemic of coughs going around in Pittsburgh at the moment, as I'm sure you'll hear.

Laura McDonald (Diana), Patrick Jones (Gabe), Joe Nolan (Dan), Kat Geertsen (Natalie), Ryan Stajmiger (Henry), Michael Stoddard (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
- Master Notes: When this community theater did Rent a few years back, a local paper commented that even if the national tour which had recently passed through was more polished and professional, that Greendale's production had an "organic feel" that made it "more appealing." Though Next to Normal is a different sort of show, I felt the same way comparing this production to the professional production I'd seen at the Milwaukee Rep the year before. I found it easy to connect emotionally with these performances, and in particular I loved the Natalie and Henry relationship here. I continue to be impressed with the quality of this community theater.
