Next to Normal Broadway - Marin Mazzie, Jason Danieley, and Meghann Fahy

[@williammclean5897]

RIP Marin Mazzie. One of the most brilliant performers of musical theatre. She will be missed terribly

[@camilaslauren]

came here immediately after hearing the news. rest in peace, marin mazzie. you will be greatly missed. today is a sad day for theatre.

[@kylecatdad]

Wat how did she die

[@camilaslauren]

Kyle rutherford ovarian cancer in 2018.

[@MisterMagikarp]

"How Could I Ever Forget" is just heartbreaking... Well done. This is definitely one of Marin's hidden gems in the show.

[@emg7451]

Marin should be on the cast recording. She is absolutely flawless. Her voice was made for this score.

[@allthatjazzspaz95]

Marin has such an interesting take on Diana. Alice was so frail, which I liked, but Marin brings so much strength to the role.

Also some extra humour, which is very interesting

[@uncletibs]

WISH YOU WERE HERE. LOVE YOU MARIN. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFTS.

[@AtomizedSound]

How come I never see any praise for Dr. Madden at least? It’s an integral character to the story and given the material and stylistic choices of the songs for him, it works with what he’s given. He’s played a little flat here but overall the compassion he shows for Diana and wanting to help her and her family should be there and played into the performance.

[@JennaFeathers]

I really like Meghan's 'Natalie'. I love Jenn also, but Meghan brings a sympathetic gentleness to the character. Jenn's 'Natalie' was much angrier, especially towards the character Diana. Meghan shows a nice balance of anger and empathy towards her which is touching.

[@briellec7173]

Yes I loved this about her portrayal as well!

[@samara.ariel.jpg_]

yes she brings a nuance. She sounds singing identical to jenn which is crazy though

[@gusibranyi2043]

I saw this cast and they were soooo good. Marin Mazzie was incredible as Diana, it was amazing to watch knowing that she was playing against her real life husband. I probably cried throughout most of the show, definitely all of act two. I'll never forget this performance.

[@MichaelJamesLeftwich]

Best cast and play I've ever seen!!!!! Marin and Jason forever!

[@MichaelJamesLeftwich]

***** Yes, they were great. I purchased the original CD cast recording from them also and I enjoy it. I prefer Jason & Marin's performance overall.

[@kklovsblue]

Rest in Peace Marin Mazzie ❤️

[@maryhuse3391]

Only just discovered the sad news of Marin passing from this realm. Oh how she will be missed!!!!

[@bartsimpson83]

I didn't think I'd ever see this one. Thanks for sharing!

[@jouissance9283]

Thank you so much for this! I've been dying to see Marin in this role and she did not disappoint.

[@bnorem09]

I can’t believe we lost Marin so soon. She was truly a tour de force. I come back to this bootleg so often.

[@marslehm6291]

Adam Chanler-Berat is the only Henry. Literally. He's just that awesome.

[@jlyfan]

All three Henrys I saw were amazing. I think Brian Justin Crum might be my favorite though.

[@flipperz0362]

Kathleen Parker It seems like having three names is a requirement to playing Henry

[@brun3ttebiche871]

1:31:03. That moment is a masterclass in acting through the song. Marin was such a treasure.

[@broadwaymike92]

THIS JUST IN: Marin Mazzie just passed away at the age of 57 after a long courageous battle with cancer. What a powerful and emotional talent. She will be missed. RIP Prayers go out to Jason and everyone in Marin's life.

[@saschahoupt6177]

What an amazing talent... RIP.

[@lisarogali827]

R.I.P. Marin. A beautiful soul and storyteller.

[@RudigerVT]

God, they were wonderful. And I saw the original cast--also terrific. Just amazing in a terrific show.

[@JuliaT1DRunner]

This Dan is so perfect :-) He shows all the emotions for the character especially through his eyes. It's like he is being the character rather than acting like the character :-)

[@mjvelli]

I watched them live and it was amazing. I have no words to describe my feelings during and after the play. My favourite cast! Thanks for posting the video!

[@RudigerVT]

She effingi sang it. The part was stitched on the vocal tics on Alice Ripley. Who is a sacred monster. Unreal. Jason Daniely is simply the best singer Broadway has seen in decades.

[@josephsireno7370]

"He's Not Here" gave me the fells so much

[@emmyj6806]

GUYS! Click to 1:26:09 and look at Adam. He puts the ticket down. Then replay it and look at Kyle! It just shows how much control Gabe really has over the family and it is also magnificent acting from Kyle!

[@sheismymom]

yes i agree!

[@Theeyeoffaith]

Ummm this is amazing!! Thanks for catching this :-)

[@singerAR0406]

My heart..... I haven't been able to watch this ... now I remember why =(

[@lancerubis5174]

Thank you so much for this!

[@emeraldEvi]

I think Marin is a stronger singer, but Alice Ripley WAS Diana-- the vulnerability of her voice fit Diana perfectly, and I think both women (and casts for that matter) are amazing but I'm glad Alice originated.

[@sundarpichai940]

I agree here. Although voice is the most important feature, Alice is the better actress. I saw a production with Kendra Kassebaum as Diana and Kendra is not only gorgeous but she can REALLY sing. However, she didn't move the audience the way Alice Ripley did as Alice had the audience in tears at a few points.

[@TheIndigoSystem]

emeraldEvi To me Jessica Phillips was the best Diana

[@KHobbies_cina]

Both of them are 50 in this show. 50!!!! Amazing

[@abbyrandolph9602]

I love this cast so much! Kyle, Meghann, Marin! Oh! I can't say it's my favorite, biased towards Aaron, Alice, Bobby, Adam, Jennifer.... Hehe... Love this show. Love this music. Love this cast. :)

[@alfonsina8234]

My fave musical since 2013 ❤️

[@kylerutherford2896]

i wish i knew more bout this show when i went to new york city the first time. i would have seen this. but this works too

[@DorothyBishop]

I saw this production with marin - SO AMAZING!!!!

[@elizabethmorris197]

This show breaks my heart. Grew up with a family member with mental illness. I wasn't allowed to talk about it. Ut would have really helped it if I could have. Shows like this start and keep the conversations going.. RIP Marin

[@dragonzlyric]

After seeing Mazzie here being an incredible Diana, I wonder how Audra would do.

[@davidfathom3051]

I feel like LaChanze would also be a good fit for Diana.

[@jamies9040]

I would give a leg to see LaChanze as Diana with Hailey Kilgore or Celia Gooding as Natalie

[@LPM12]

RIP Marin ❤️ Your brilliance was unmatched.

[@nickfalcone296]

The superior cast.

[@ltbrooks]

God, I love Jason Daniely. And Marin.

[@saveahorse009]

This cast needs to do a film adaptation

[@michaelsaylorceo135]

Samiar Nefzi i agree

[@epicremarc]

Dulcechicayoutuber I mean... not really possible now, sadly

[@toxicsugarart2103]

Epic Remarc rip ;-;

[@coltonashabranner375]

Maghann sounds a lot like Jennifer!

[@Locke350]

And they look so similar.

[@IV2000]

I Am The One reprise doesn't get enough love

[@peppap1ggle664]

i know it's been a while but i miss her

[@greenelphiexoxo]

YAY! I was looking at the comments and hoping someone else was thinking the same thing.This is my first time seeing him, and I'm really impressed with him too :)

[@bnorem09]

This video is why bootlegs are important.

[@avrilfaniam]

I felt the other cast kind of made the whole thing like more of a metaphor, where as with this cast I felt the story was kind of easier to follow, anybody else? Also I have a strong preference for Marin. I loved the way she performed Alice.

[@nps7vc]

I think you mean Diana.. Alice was the (utterly incomparable) singer who originated the role of Diana.

[@saschahoupt6177]

Nathan Sullins might as well call her Alice, since she's the queen of that role anyway.

[@rohanjohn1819]

Kaitlyn Rose I particularly liked Jessica Phillips' portrayal seeing as her voice is less grating, she showed how someone so broken could seem normal on the outside, and her I Miss the Mountains and You Don't Know/I Am the One performances were sensational. Alice Ripley though was absolutely necessary to showcase the vulnerability of Diana's fragile mind.

[@davidfathom3051]

+Nathan Sullins Alice was the utterly incomparable ACTRESS who originated Diana. Her singing leaves a lot to be desired.

[@chroniclesofalivingdeadgirl]

There's nothing wrong with Alice's voice. She's the perfect Diana. She has all the nuance of the character. Marin, though, also great lacks the layers Alice have brought to this role.

[@BigTtheactor]

I really really like this cast!

[@beccaswann6391]

I've watched this show with a few different casts, the original is the best.

[@inspiringpuppies2906]

rip marin mazzie, so talented and gone far too soon 💔

[@kaitlynlongberry]

Rest in Peace

[@jamesbearvr]

Holy crap What on earth I just heard Marin died. She was the one I saw on broadway when I first saw Next to Normal. I never knew of her before the show and loved her interpretation. Truly shocked. I even got a broken musicbox prop from the show that breaks. She and Jason signed it for some AIDS or some other awareness thing back in November 2011 I believe. Wow this is surreal.

[@user-hy4mo4bg1o]

The video and sound quality of this cast of NTN is way better than the recording of the Original Broadway cast. I like both casts. But I really like Aaron Tveit as Gabe more than Kyle, Jason as Dan, and Meghann as Natalie.

[@davidfathom3051]

So... you like Marin.

[@jjjhila111]

anyone else notice that when Jason starts singing Light, he says "light after light" instead of "night after night"?

[@mymiracleislyrical]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've just managed to upload a download link for this video; it is now included in the video description. Feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.

[@milliethedog1070]

Marin's voice is much stronger than Alice's which technically might make this version better but Alice Ripley IS Dianna and brought that roll to life so while I think that the vocals in this are stronger I still think the original cast is better

[@lonelylittledot]

Okay Meghann Fahy sound SO MUCH like Jennifer it's scary

[@samara.ariel.jpg_]

7:06 Everything Else (Natalie)

[@yoyoeldas]

Meghann and Adam are both awesome actors, but somehow I feel Adam doesn't share the chemistry with her like he did with Jenn.

[@alexkrycek3359]

RIP Marin Mazzie

33:27 SuperBoy & The Invisible Girl

[@athepaki7706]

That's Saton Brandy right there

[@jamesn.osullivan4320]

Men, Marin is fantastic, but she doesn't have what it takes to pull off this rock part.

[@madeleine.exists9207]

This show really messes up my emotions.😭

[@arianacastaluccio-vilani9442]

Meghann as Natalie!! 😍😍😍❤❤

[@elisesan8217]

I love this musical!! But I have some issues with it. One thing that seriously annoys me is for some songs they move a lot and it's great to watch, but for others they just don't move.

[@kayfray6177]

Does anyone know of any other later performances of this cast later on in their run pls? closing night?

[@taliasajor2793]

Seeing Adam kiss another girl that's not Jennifer low-key upsets me, but Meghann was awesome!

[@megan132]

thats the camera! hahaha, if that actually happened during the show, that would be some great broadway news, hahaha.

[@jaeboell8181]

Does anyone have Jessica Phillips preformance?

[@sheismymom]

i can't believe she died RIP

[@RookieKay]

Is it just me, or does Meghann sound almost EXACTLY like Jenn?

[@lovelylady17329]

It's uncanny!!!!

[@samara.ariel.jpg_]

exactly!!!

[@user-hy4mo4bg1o]

So is Gabriel just a hallucination or is he also a ghost??? Because near the end at 1:55:17 the father knew that he was there. And also does he finally stop bothering them or does he follow his mom?

[@dbalderrama8576]

He is their grief. He's not a ghost. He doesn't exist. When Diana accepts it Gabe's gone. Notice he is now wearing the Dad's color. Notice Diana doesn't acknowledge him, At the end the Gabe left, is his dad's grief that he was not able to grieve because he was too busy taking care of his wife.

[@user-hy4mo4bg1o]

Ohhhhhhh. ok. thanx. =)

[@briellec7173]

He is also, in a way, the personification of Diana's illness, like an extension of what's going on her mind.

[@ianseattle420]

I really like Mazzie as Diana but not a huge fan of Dan

[@temporaryphase]

He's so hard to cast I lived brian with my entire heart

[@theknack101]

This is probably my favorite cast for the show. But damn, this guy needs to do better camera work, this is terrible.

[@김소담-c2q]

40:06 I'm Alive

[@jacobmesser7266]

I feel like this dan's singing was really choppy, and he didn't have the breath control that the original did, he was good, but nowhere near the original

[@elliek5636]

Nothing beats OBC Aaron and Alice are perfection.

[@jlyfan]

that's not true

[@andorthethis]

Ok is the camera making the lighting change or was the light technician drunk or something lol...they change so abruptly and randomly. It's especially noticeable during Song Of Forgetting

[@elphbwckd212]

Andor it is the cameraman changing exposure to adjust to the bright lighting washing out the characters. Then in dark scenes it is too dark so he changes the setting so you can see the action and so on. A lot of bootlegs have these adjustments. if you watch enough of them youll notice it quite a bit.

[@pudgeuncle]

What a shame Mazzie did not originate the role. She's twice as talented as her predecessor.

[@ginnykang943]

I can't stand Alice Ripley's performance (unrelated to her scandal). Marin's is finally a Diana I can watch.

[@samara.ariel.jpg_]

Alice is innocent and a amazing person and performer. I miss Marin though so much we all do.

[@temporaryphase]

I do like the new alice but I'll always love brian

[@I_Exist_.]

27:34

[@josephsireno7370]

The son just needs to MOVE ON

[@elphbwckd212]

Joseph Sireno you say like he had a choice. It was always my interpretation that it was Dianne and and in the end Dan as well that couldn't let go. He wasn't so much a ghost that couldn't move on, but a piece of his parents that they couldn't let go of. He was a part of them and they couldn't let themselves move on from the tragedy of his death.

[@stag2177]

I prefer the original actors besides dan/natalie

[@jlyfan]

Ok?

[@katiemarshalltv6184]

I know the person who posted this didn't record this, but damn this is the worst recording I've ever seen. Focus on the characters that are singing, dammit, not on random parts of the set. >:(

[@madeleine.exists9207]

Dude, how many bootlegs have you watched? This is actually pretty quality compared to other bootlegs I've seen.

[@RookieKay]

And Kyle's voice is too nasally... I might just be biast because I'm so used to the OBC, but does anyone else think Kyle sound a bit nasally?

[@randikreger9530]

Worst camera ever

[@TheIndigoSystem]

I don't really like this cast :/ I love Alice and Jessica as Diana, to me Aaron is the only Gabe and Jen is the only Natalie but Meghann was good. She sounds so similar. Not into Marin as Diana though or Bobby as Dan :/

[@elphbwckd212]

No. This is the reason this show closed after the cast change. They can sing but they really missed the point of the show. Vocally it is so weak. And, sorry, but this Dianne is a great vocalist. But she doesn't in the least capture the mannic of Diane. She is the lead character and pushes the whole emotion of the show. She never reached that point for me. Sure, she is finally perfect. And Alice had a few vocal train wreck but at least she was totally in character 1000% of the time. This was lackluster.

[@sheismymom]

no you are wrong

[@williammclean5897]

This was her and Jason (Dan)'s first performance after three weeks of rehearsal. It is unfair to compare it to Ripley as she (and the rest of her costars) had been fine tuning their performances over the time spent at Second Stage, in DC, and on Broadway. Main's Diana found her mania. Her darkness. But it didn't happen over night. It never does
