Off-Broadway
Next to Normal | Off-Broadway / Second Stage | March 13, 2008 | VOB+Smalls | broadwayspunk'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. |

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), J Robert Spencer (Dan), Aaron Tveit (Gabe), Jennifer Damiano (Natalie), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Excellent rare capture of the PreBroadway DC run. This is when the show finally found focus, took shape and fell into place. Such a remarkable and raw performance from Alice here. If you thought you have seen her best performance, think again! A.

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana Goodman), J. Robert Spencer (Dan Goodman), Jennifer Demanio (Natalie Goodman), Aaron Tveit (Gabe Goodman), Adam Chanler-Berat (Henry), Louis Hobson (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine) Notes: Filmed before Alice Ripley strained her voice.

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Asa Somers (Dan), Curt Hansen (Gabe), Emma Hunton (Natalie), Preston Sadleir (Henry), Jeremy Kushnier (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: A good (albeit angled) shoot. Some issues with frames dropping during zooms, dark bits, and fast pans, washout has had the edge taken off but it’s still present. Audio’s good. |

Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Asa Sommers (Dan), Curt Hansen (Gabe), Emma Hunton (Natalie), Preston K. Sadleir (Henry), Jeremy Kushnier (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine). Notes: A Magnificent and beautiful capture of the new tour cast from the first stop in LA. Missing smalls |
Next to Normal | First National Tour | May 8, 2011 | VOB+Smalls | SunsetBlvd79's Master
Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Jason Watson (u/s Dan), Curt Hansen (Gabe), Emma Hunton (Natalie), Preston Sadleir (Henry), Jeremy Kushnier (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: This video is filmed from the center of the theater and has many mid-stage shots (with no spotlight washout at all), so many times it feels like watching a pro-shot. Plus, there are many close-ups when necessary. Overall, a great video, especially for those who are not familiar with the show |
Next to Normal | First National Tour | VOB+Smalls | June 14, 2011
Cast: Alice Ripley (Diana), Asa Somers (Dan), Perry Sherman (u/s Gabe), Emma Hunton (Natalie), Preston Sadleir (Henry), Jeremy Kushnier (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Almost a full video, missing a few parts here and there. Very Perry-focused when he is on stage, camera wandering at times. |

Cast: Judy McLane (Diana), Jonathan Rayson (Dan), Ephie Aardema (Natalie), Alex Brightman (Henry), Matt Dengler (Gabe), Ben Crawford (Doctor Madden/Dr. Fine) Notes: Closing night of this strong regional production by Pioneer Theatre Company. All of the actors are great in their roles and have multiple Broadway credits to their names. Ben, in particular, is a stand-out as the Doctors. |
Raleigh

Cast: Jessika Brust (Diana), Ken Griggs (Dan), Aaron Bennett Miller (Gabe), Kelsey Walston (Natalie), Dalton Hood (Henry), Kevin Ferguson (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: The camera wanders a lot with several blackouts, but the quality is great when the camera is focused on the action. |
Arizona Theatre Company/San jose repertory theatre
Weston Playhouse
Next to Normal | Weston Playhouse | July 27, 2013 | VOB + smalls | juniper47’s master
Cast: Heidi Blickenstaff (Diana), Aaron Ramey (Dan), Margo Seibert (Natalie), Dan DeLuca (Gabe), Etai BenShlomo (Henry), David Ayers (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Filmed in 16:9 widescreen, SD. Had to film around a couple of tall people in front of me, so a few minor obstructions when action was at the far sides of the stage, but worked around as best as possible. Lighting was also very dark at times, but was brightened a bit in post-editing. Heidi Blickenstaff was a powerhouse Diana, both in her vocals and her range of acting. The pacing/tempo and some direction choices were perhaps not my favorite, but this was still a fantastic regional production of a gut-wrenching show. NFT (no trade/sell/copy) until September 1, 2021. NO PART OF THIS VIDEO IS EVER TO BE POSTED/SHARED/GIFTED ANYWHERE ONLINE including but not limited to YouTube, Tumblr, Vimeo, Reddit, etc. |

Cast: Rachel Bay Jones (Diana), Brandon Victor Dixon (Dan), Khamary Rose (Gabe), Maia Reficco (Natalie), Ben Levi Ross (Henry), Michael Park (Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden) Notes: Blurry capture, heavily obstructed, without any zooms. However, the full audio of the show is included. |
beverly arts center
Next to Normal | Beverly Arts Center | March 2022 | MP4 | stillreprise’s master
Cast: Meghan Hoyt (Diana), Jimmy Poynton (Gabe), Scott Sowinski (Dan), Gabriella Smurawa (Natalie), Ryan Michael Hamman (Henry), Jake Feeny (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine) Notes: The usual wandering, shakiness, grain, etc, with the only dropouts being during the applauses to stretch my hand. The center of the stage is obstructed by a head so I needed to shoot around it and any action directly in the center of the stage is unfortunately not captured. There is also mild obstruction from other surrounding heads but the center one is the most bothersome. It doesn't cut off anything too important, though. My camera struggled to focus at points but it isn't distracting or anything |
Westport country playhouse

Next to Normal | Off-West End | September, 2023 | MP4 | Jagweed’s master | NFT MAY 1 2024
Cast: Caissie Levy (Diana), Jamie Parker (Dan), Eleanor Worthington Cox (Natalie), Jack Wolfe (Gabe), Jack Ofrecio (Henry), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Dr.Madden/Dr. Fine) Notes: Pretty much a perfect capture of this show. Mainly filmed in close ups and mediums. Occasionally a head is visible at the bottom due to an audience member leaning forward. However, I film around this and always try to ensure it’s not in view. Some scenes are dark due to lighting as my camera’s image quality is not the best in dim lighting. This is not a huge issue though and everything can be seen. External audio was not used as it was too quiet. Recording includes the curtain call and a shot of the outside of the theatre. |
