Mrs. Mountains, We Are Alive

Next to Normal opened Jan. 4th and runs through the 16th down at the Ellie Caukins Opera house in the Performing Arts Complex. It stars Alice Ripley as Diana Goodman.

Note: I have mulled over what I wanted to say about Next to Normal for at least a day now. I am still at a loss for words. So this will be the shortest post ever.

Next to Normal is amazing. It reaches in to ones soul and asks 'Who are you?' The journey it takes is beyond description, leading one to find an inner light. That journey is gut wrenching and emotional and fantastic and everything you could ever feel.

So, if as Ms. Ripley says, you are "still out there in the dark". Go see the show. If you have found the light go see the show and walk along side one of us that are still looking.

P.S. Alice is amazing as Diana and in real life!

P.P.S. Heidi: You made a boy's dreams come true. I met my hero. Thanks.
