Preview Jonathan Groff, Ana Gasteyer, and the Cast of A New Brain

[@caitlinturner9479]

William Finn's music slays my entire body anytime I hear it mannnn

[@INeverMetaphorIDidntLike]

"i'd rather be sailing" is one of the most beautiful songs..... this is going to be heartbreaking

[@aub1915]

Jonathan Groff gives me life

[@kaylabowe1410]

I wish this had more than five performances, it seems so fantastic and A New Brain is such an amazing show!

[@sketchers3115]

Wait it only played for 5 performances what?

[@danip3270]

biggiecheese_is_a_snack It as part of an Encore! Summer Series, which are only designed to be short performances. I bought their soundtrack though, and it’s fantastic. The full show is on KZbin, just look for it by name.

[@jeffwatkins352]

Groff is a true saint of musical theater. Everything he touches he infuses with his boundless love. We're so lucky this angelic spirit infuses our lives with such dear riches.

[@DreamsComeTrue86]

This show was so amazing. I wish I had no plans for the weekend so that I could go back every night. I was not expecting it to move me as much as it did. Truly beautiful.

[@swampghost835]

what is it with william finn leads and that damn maroon hoodie

[@legallyjellsies]

honestly 😭😭

[@TheSparkBehindFire]

I dont really know what this is about but it looks like i.would cry my eyes out when i'd go see it!

[@yaya-mk3nn]

you would. it's hilarious and very fun, but also incredibly moving. i saw this, and I would go see it again and again if I could.

[@AvalonMorley]

TheSparkBehindFire It's such a wonderful show, with a great score, real depth, characters you care about, tension over how it will turn out, and ~ well, I won't spoil it. But it's based on a true story. Definitely worth getting the original cast recording. Such great singers/actors, including early Kristin Chenoweth. (Was it the first cast recording she was on? Probably not, but it's fairly early. The show ran at Lincoln Center between when she was in STEEL PIER and when she was in YOU'RE A GOOD MAN, CHARLIE BROWN.) The production I saw did, indeed, bring tears....

[@AmandaHeselaa]

As a person whos mom was diagnosed with a braintumor in the hippocampus, when I was 14, this show always hit me like a truck.

[@ricardobauler5822]

Who is the blond young actress wearing glasses? Her voice is so beautiful.

[@delauge]

+ricardo bauler I believe it's hyper-talented Alyse Alan Louis. Isn't she just lovely?

[@ricardobauler5822]

+MadViolist totally agree. yes, she is. it's such a pitty I live in Rio de Janeiro, so far from those amazing musicals and sensitive people who love it

[@mayadg16]

When you realize two of the cast members were in Amelie...

[@raspberrycrowns9494]

Please tell me this is another musical about family problems I love those kinds

[@riley-dd9pm]

[@michaelisburninginthebathr2483]

[@therealpotato327]

[@rykaro69]

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS

[@TheMaviene]

A year late, buddy.

[@thiagoklojda7866]

You can hear the complete album on Spotify. I still wish I had seen it, though

[@iconicole888]

crying because there's no christian borle):

[@spoiledramen175]

Nicole Phillips I mean he was just on the recording of the cast album

[@canna8676]

spoiledramen why? Did he replace someone for the recording?

[@ginnyf.8591]

@@canna8676 yeah he was Mr bungee on the cast album.

[@mrogilvie]

0:56 Nancy turning up for the assignment and living her best life.

[@spoiledramen175]

I know you have a recording. Please release it. Thank you :’^)

[@healthyholemealbread]

Love this show, Ive paid homage to it and musical theatre in a video on my channel. Grateful for feedback xx

[@kylequartzy]

Obligatory Ana Gasteyer appreciation comment

[@Clutching.My.Pearls]

Ana is AMAZING! Saw her in Wicked a long time ago and never forgot that performance of Elfaba. I'm so tired of everyone so gaga over Sutton Foster, because she doesn't hold a candle to Ana.

[@yaya-mk3nn]

SO excited to see this!

[@tehreeem]

Does anybody have the bootleg to the 2015 cast?

[@AiyanaWolfe]

Where can I find the full version of heart and music?

[@qhloejill]

Spotify has the whole album.

[@kareneastman9695]

Part of it was based on a short Looney Tunes thing???😀🙂

[@jgmcgehee]

This is such a gorgeous score - in my opinion it is FAR superior to Falsettos. This is an outstanding cast!

[@DrCLA212]

What is this play? Where can I find more information about it ?

[@StripesofShay]

next to normal 2.0

[@Danny-sc1qs]

StripesofShay A New Brain came out first, so maybe the other way around haha

[@Shweiss4]

StripesofShay The Falsettos (also Finn) reminded me a lot of Next to Normal, it must have been some inspiration.

[@raquel7574]

ya'll,,, a new brain came out before next to normal

[@raquel7574]

same with the falsettos, so it's the other way around.

[@deonblue4546]

Where's the homeless lady?! Lol
