Next to Normal | Second Stage | February 11, 2008 | VOB
Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Brian d'Arcy James (Dan), Asa Somers (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry)
Notes: This is not a great DVD by any means; I was sitting there, producers were behind me, as well as Matthew Scott and Jacqui Polk in front of me, ushers on either sight lines behind me. I held the camera to my chest for the entire show and caught whatever I could. It is blind shot, so there is absolutely no zooms. First video of the original Off-Broadway run. broadwayspunk's master
Next to Normal | Second Stage | February 20, 2008 | VOB
Cast: Alice Ripley, Brian D'Arcy James, Jennifer Damiano, Aaron Tveit, Corey Boardman (u/s Henry), Asa Somers
Notes: A few cover-up's and a tiny bit of shakiness in the beginning. Some action downstage left is missing due to heads in the way throughout the show. Beautiful close ups and the first five minutes of act two is missing. Vertical capture of the only understudy filmed during the show's original Off-Broadway run. russellfan123's master

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Brian d'Arcy James (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Asa Somers (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: This includes Alice's flip out in the beginning to replace all the Costco stuff. It was a fantastic show and an even better video than my previous 3/1/08 master. I shot it in a different style to showcase more of the stage (since you can only stare at someones face for so long). Really emotional times in the theatre and you can hear sniffles in the camera. Recorded three days before the show was closed and rewritten. broadwayspunk's master

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), J. Robert Spencer (Dan), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: This is a rare boot, filmed before Alice Ripley had strained her voice. This has been noted to be the highest quality boot of the original cast that you can get! There are obstructions, particularly in the left corner, but the closeups often make up for it!

Notes: The first show after the 2009 Tony Awards. Looks like it was filmed very close to the stage, so it's at an odd angle and filmed between heads.

Cast: Jessica Phillips (s/b Diana), Brian d'Arcy James (Dan), Kyle Dean Massey (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Filmed in 16:9 widescreen. Act One has a few minor obstructions from a head on the lower edge of the screen, but they are brief and shot around as best as possible. Moved for Act Two and had zero obstructions. About 30 seconds to a minute of blackouts at the start of each act. Mix of medium and close zooms. A fantastic performance from all, but especially Jessica, she has an absolutely incredible voice, along with very heartfelt and sincere acting, and completely made the role her own. greekymuse's master

Notes: Same audio issues as the others, well shot. A Magnificent and beautiful capture of the new tour cast from the first stop in LA. The cast is very solid and made it their own from any other cast. A very highly, highly enjoyable cast with a few performances that rival the original. sunsetblvd79's master

Cast: Kendra Kassebaum (Diana), Joe Cassidy (Dan), Jonathan Shew (Gabe), Andrea Ross (Natalie), AJ Holmes (Henry), Mark Farrell (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Kendra Kassebaum was such a phenomenal Diana - her acting was out of this world! Shot in 16:9 widescreen, a tad dark in some low-light scenes, but no obstructions at all. One brief blackout for the first minute of "Why Stay?" when a battery change was necessary. But also included (at the end of the DVD) is a clip of "Why Stay?" shot in its entirety from 2 days prior to make up for that. Quick drop-outs for applause. Also, the angle where my seat was weird, so there's slight tilt in the video. Audio fed in from external source, so the audio is nice and clear. juniper47’s master
