"Next to Normal" show #663

An emotionally charged production can lead its audience to experience a range of emotions and reactions. In the case of Broadway By The Bay’s recently-closed Next to Normal, this blogger felt every single one of them. There were tears, laughs, loud applause and complete silence, extended periods of not blinking or breathing, and a standing ovation that was impulsive, not contrived. Sometimes the right cast and team come together to stage what is already a solid piece of musical theatre, and sometimes the lucky theatre-going population gets to experience it.

Next To Normal is the story of mom/wife Diana, who is suffering from a mental illness, and the rest of her Goodman family. There have been some traumatic events that took place within the family, some of which were easier to deal with and others that have lingered. Caitlin McGinty led the Goodman clan with absolute abandon as Diana. Her emotional pull was as strong as her excellent vocals, namely in a compelling, contemplative “I Miss the Mountains,” a hilariously dark “Didn’t I See This Movie?” a powerful “How Could I Ever Forget?,” and an emotionally jarring “So Anyway.” Playing opposite Miss McGinty was Joe Hudelson who delivered an excellent performance as Goodman dad, Dan. Mr. Hudelson played the “ordinary” father like a white-collar worker with a blue-collar mentality. This balancing act worked well in Mr. Hudelson’s favor, making his various acting and singing turns in “It’s Gonna Be Good,” “I Am the One,” and the tender plea “A Light in the Dark” a pleasing, eclectic display of emotions.

When Mr. Hudelson teamed up with Sean Okuniewicz (playing Goodman son, Gabe) for Act Two’s “I am the One (reprise)” the waterworks, if they hadn’t been flowing already, had no chance of holding up. Their connection, the vocals, and the intensity of the scene (staged extremely well by director Jason Jeffrey) resulted in a show-stopping moment from the two men. At that point it was no surprise, though, since Mr. Okuniewicz came out with guns a-blazin’ and vocals a-rockin’ in the opener, “Just Another Day,” only to continue his astute, devastating performance as Gabe in a tremendous “I’m Alive,” a passionate duet turn in “Superboy and the Invisible Girl,” and a simply stunning “I Am the One.” Mackenzie Cala held her own as Natalie, the troubled daughter in the Goodman household. Her first solo, “Everything Else,” showcased Miss Cala’s vocal talents as well as her knack for delivering dry humor in the timbre of a teenager but with the intellectual maturity of an adult. Miss Cala’s journey as an overworked teen girl living in the shadow of her brother takes full effect when she began displaying the very traits Miss McGinty’s Diana is diagnosed with. One of the most powerful aspects of this Brian Yorkey/Tom Kitt musical is seeing how symptoms of those who have a mental illness can be seen in their children, the lineage of a disease, if you will; an aspect Miss Cala and Miss McGinty nailed in their chemistry as mother and daughter.

Joey Piscane and Brendan Quirk gave memorable performances as Natalie’s boyfriend-ish, Henry, and Diana’s rock star doctors, Dr. Madden and Dr. Fine. Mr. Piscane let his vocal rock side soar with intimacy and brooding connectedness to Miss Cala’s Natalie in Act One’s “Perfect For You” and the trio of “Hey”’s in Act Two. Mr. Quirk found all the funny, irony, and professional demeanor in “Make up Your Mind,” “Better than Before” and “You Don’t Know (reprise).” All set within a magnificent unit scenic design by Kelly James Tighe, the visuals of all the things the Goodman family values, or is inhibited by, were on appealing display among the shelves and rails. Michael Oesch’s lighting design added a whole new level of Next To Normal intensity by truly calibrating the lights, washes, and colors with the musical mood and pulse set by Alicia Jeffrey’s dynamite band.  This Next To Normal was anything but a normal production; it was a truly outstanding piece of theatre that had all the right emotions and commitments in place.
