Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

Next To Normal: Abridged

This year, one family is about to face the music.

Because, see, it's a musical. So they're about to face the music.

What? Oh... no, the musical isn't about music at all. But it has music in it, got that?

OK, good. Cause that should be enough reason that THIS is the musical that has musical notes on the logo. So you can tell it apart from the musicals that...

Oh I see what you're saying. Hmm.

In that case... NEXT TO NORMAL: ABRIDGED

just to say that i found this site while i was randomly googleing something - only god knows what i was really looking for; and it really made my day (i know that sounds like i don't have a life. i do, really. it just not that interesting most of the time)

it's very funny and - more impressive than that - it's intelligent.

This was hilarious and pretty much summed up all the problems I had with the musical. Thanks for giving me a good laugh.

I love the musical, but I thought this was completely brilliant and spot-on! Good job.
