Opening Night: "Next to Normal"

On the red carpet at the theater and after-party for opening night of the season's most electric new musical!

I almost cried when Adam said, "I was the kid online looking at these videos on my computer, and now I'm behind the mic! It happens!"

[@klajoonas1196]

I swear he was about to say "bootlegs" but then stopped himself XD

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I always sing along to "I Am The One". It's just one of those songs that you must sing along too.

[@saschahoupt6177]

You're right, it's mandatory

how i wish i could go and watch Broadway shows live

[@MsMaggyW]

Wise words, Aaron. I lost my best friends five months ago, and if I hadn't taken my time working through the grief, little piece by little piece, I'd have lost many more. I'm grateful for what I still have and the pain and sadness did strengthen my relationships for the friends I have left...

[@manuelorozco7760]

Next to Normal has the most emotionally energetic score I have heard in a musical tied with Rent. I saw the national tour eight years ago with Alice Ripley when it made it's first stop in Los Angeles!

AAARROOOOOONNNN *runs into wall* *smashes head against door* *falls down the stairs* "I love you!" :')

Low key opening this show in a day... dying on the inside

[@matth3w2002]

I know Brian D'Arcy James was in the pre-broadway version of this show but honestly I feel like him and J.Robert Spencer could've alternated each night or week just cause they were both great Dans.

Woah. I didn't expect lin to be here

[@cabooseluvr1]

[@graceh201]

lets all take note of the neon striped tie and aaron's facial expression at 1:43

[@stephpiano2908]

For some reason Adam really reminds me of Ben Platt here

[@DenverOcean]

How do I like this video twice? So good!

[@JS-bk2uz]

0:32 YO WHAT UP LIN

[@Kaelyyyyy]

[@manuelorozco7760]

Lin has been on a roll lately with Hamilton, Moana and Ducktales

[@betterthanmuffins]

What I would kill to be Alice Ripley.

[@natashaweatherspoon3558]

When the "I Am The One" instrumental came on in the background I started singing to it XDXD

[@sam52054]

Wow, how the time has flown by. Was there for opening night as a minor investor. Have never been as moved by any other production as I had by this one. Thought they had stolen a few pages from my history from the story, wanted to jump up on stage and give the Anesthetic for the ECT, as I've done hundreds of times before, not to mention the bipolar wife.

[@MissAnime111]
