Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at CAP Merrick
Prior to Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey’s NEXT TO NORMAL, few musicals covered the topic of grieving a child, and none covered the topic of bipolar disorder. Directed by Tony Frangipane, the production is meticulously done, and every acting choice is specific and in the moment, one of many trademarks of a Frangipane directed piece. Serving as Assistant Directors and Co-Stage Managers, Diane Marmann and Jared Glazer take equal care to ensure that this story is given a proper time in the light. NEXT TO NORMAL has a deceitfully difficult score, with many of the actors singing background vocals if they’re not leading the number. Under the baton of Musical Director Shiloh Bennett, the cast has a sound that rivals the original Broadway production, a trademark of any musical with Bennett at the helm. The lighting, co-designed by Tony Frangipane and Joshua Amy, the environment is clearly established, and it flourishes with each passing moment, leaving the audience enveloped in the shows universe by the end.

Historic utility AND high fashion. LL Bean staple finds a new audience as a trendy bag
The sturdy canvas bag made by L.L. Bean and called the Boat and Tote was created to haul heavy blocks of ice but now has become a must-have fashion accessory. It is having an extended moment that's driven by social media like Stanley’s tumblers were. New Yorker Gracie Wiener launched the trend by monogramming one of the utilitarian bags with “Prada" as a joke, and launching an Instagram page showcasing creative phrases like “Schlepper” or “HOT MESS” or “cool mom.” The folks at L.L. Bean are both stunned and happy. A spokesperson says the totes are bringing new customers to the brand.
