I saw Next To Normal (Broadway) on 03/13/10. Overall, I'd say it was a 4-star rating. I'd summarize it by saying “a very powerful show”

I had a great time and left the show feeling moved and in awe of the talent. I'd describe the show as touching, emotional, and engaging. Alice ripley was a highlight of the show because this is the role she was born to play. If this were a movie, I'd rate it R. I would recommend this show to adults but not to kids.

I saw this show because it is worth repeat visits.. I would see it again. I sat in the left orchestra area of the theater. The view was slightly obstructed and the seats were OK.
