Cast: Sherie Rene Scott (Diana), Norbert Leo Butz (Dan), Ben Schrader (Gabe), Anya Singleton (Natalie), Greg Naughton (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine)
Notes: Soundboard. Workshop reading (as Feeling Electric). At this point the show was only 1 hour long. The show is super different then the Broadway show, so it's amazingly interesting to hear.

Notes: Excellent audio, recorded from the balcony. The woman sitting next to the master had an habit of reacting to things happening in the show audibly by gasping or mumbling to her husband. Luckily it wasn't too often.

JCC Manhattan
Next to Normal | JCC Manhattan | February 1, 2018 (juniper47's master)
Cast: Christiane Noll (Diana), Darius de Haas (Dan), Devin Ilaw (Gabe), Krystina Alabado (Natalie), F Michael Haynie (Henry), Colin Hanlon (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine)
Notes: The entire show performed as a one-night concert benefit for JED Foundation, where the actors used scripts at music stands. Although because Christiane Noll had recently played Diana at TheatreWorks in CT, she was off-book for most of it, and her acting was ON POINT and perhaps even better than the staged production she did. The cast had had very minimal rehearsal, so there are minor flubs/lyric mistakes. Darius de Haas may have been sick?

Notes: Final performance of this run, but the production is returning in July so be sure to check it out if you’re in the Chicagoland area! Includes the pre-show speech made by the show’s artistic director, which included trigger warnings for the show, as well as encouraging audiences to step out if needed and to take advantage of help hotlines posted in the lobby. Audience was extremely reactive and laughed at almost every joke.

Westport Country Playhouse
Next to Normal | Westport Country Playhouse | April 10, 2022 (matinee) (juniper47’s master)
Cast: Dar. Lee. See. Ah. (Diana), Wilson Jermaine Heredia (Dan), Ashley LaLonde (Natalie), Daniel J Maldonado (Gabe), Gian Perez (Henry), Katie Thompson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden)
Notes: Dar. Lee. See. Ah. (aka Darlecia Cearcy) is a phenomenal Diana - both vocally and in acting, but really, the entire cast was exceptionally strong. Some small but very notable changes to the libretto to match the actors' ethnic expressions and updating a couple of references (discussed in the symposium session). A few line flubs and timing errors, but this was only their fourth day of performances, so perhaps they are still settling in. Recorded from near the front orchestra, so a bit heavy on bass at times, but still a great audio. Includes Sunday Symposium session (i.e. talkback) immediately following the show with guest Tom Kitt.

Notes: Recorded from mezzanine but somehow there was more bass overload than from the front row, but only in the very beginning and end of Act 2. Otherwise a very nice clean audio.
