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.
