This is such a beautiful and important musical and this is such a beautiful and important version of it. Your lovely work has made a real difference in my life.

Nivea❤😊😊😢😊😅

I can't say how much I appreciate this performance, and I can't thank you all enough for the time and energy that went into this project. Betsi Morrison was a powerhouse. "You Don't Know" wrecks me no matter who sings it, but you have a lifelong ticket in my brain for ruining me. You are the best. Luke Walrath, you are so damn good in this. Your voice and timing are amazing, but it was the dialogue between songs that really stunned me. Annie Jones, your performance in "Make Up Your Mind" / "Catch Me I'm Falling" was the most connected I've felt to Natalie in any rendition I've seen. I can't say how much it affected me. Sam Benkelman, your Gabe was crushing. Most of the time I don't see the undercurrent of malice in Gabe's role, but the joy of manipulation you put across in addition to the role of loving son was so damn good and made the character click for me. Nick Brester, I really enjoyed the physical language you added to this role. There is a tenderness to your voice and body language that rocked me. I want to applaud you all. This musical is so important to me, and when I saw your rendition pop up on my feed, I had no idea how important IT would become to me. You've truly added to my experience... something I thought would be impossible when I pressed play on this video.

I’m only on “Perfect for you” and I have to go ahead and comment how absolutely amazing this is. The stylistic choices are great (loved how you incorporated the background vocals in “My psychopharmacologist and I” it was so clever!) and it’s a perfect film adaptation of the musical. It enhances it perfectly without taking anything away. Also the cast acted the characters perfectly. Anytime I want to introduce someone to Next to Normal this is what I’m showing them!

Such a great Experience. But, the book is too phenomenal not to make a great experience. I've seen the stage show pricisely 12 years ago this month. this got me back in the auditorium seat of that time. well done ATP.

Luke - Excellent!! transition from stage to film was remarkable! Congratulations to all!! Message translates beautifully. Great job!!

How have ONLY just found this. This needs to be shared everywhere!

Very well done. Beautiful vocals too.😊

"How Could I Ever Forget?" Absolutely destroyed me

I can definitely appreciate the effort put into it, but everything just feels just that little bit of off vs a regular live production. I truly think this may have benefited from the "Live Recording" like they did with the Les Mis movie. Also the actors/ Dianna just seem to lack emotion.. Dan has glorious breath throughs of anger/ rage/ fear/ etc, but really only Natalie shows emotion that points to "she's *LIVED* this feeling" I love this for what was put into it, I just wish there was more time put into it.

I LOVE THIS!

Okey?!!! This is SO cool!❤🇦🇷

This is ASTOUNDING. *weeping* Thank you!

Thank you! I really wanted to learn this song, but probably never could have without this video.

영화관에서 큰화면으로 보고싶네요 !!

This is a good one. I am helping my son learn for chorus 4th grade but also because we ❤ singing it. Also Where are you❤❤

Yeaaahhhh you guys are gonna rock!!!!!

Is this the broadway recording on top of the acting, or are these actors singing? Not a judgment, it’s phenomenal either way! Just curious because it’s so tight

luv you🎉

We are so blessed to have this beautiful work just on here that we can watch for free and whenever we want, thank you ATP

This is so good. No words. Hands down. My gosh.

This was absolutely sublime, moving, gorgeous. Such a beautiful iteration of a brilliant work. Congratulations ATP and all involved!

* in tears *

My favorite rendition of this song,this actor is brilliant!

THIS IS AMAZING!!

Hi everyone. I'm Luke, director & editor of this piece. I feel a little sheepish coming on here, since I know the 1st rule of the internet is "don't read the comments." But the truth is, we're all pretty proud of what we accomplished with this piece, especially given the time & budget restraints. It's a show we'd always wanted to do live, but weren't able to at the time due to COVID. The idea Betsi had was to complete the project in the same timeframe as if we had done it live. So we had 2 weeks to rehearse, 2 weeks to shoot, and 4 weeks to edit. Thanks to everyone for their compliments. Please let others know about it!

I often wonder how many actually feel the impact of this play so deeply because of the message on mental health. The first time I ever saw it I was left stunned, with more emotions than I could comprehend at the time. This adaptation is so phenomenal, will be sharing with everyone I know. The acting is amazing but the message is needed especially these days.

This should be shown in theaters

This is a fantastic production with great performances all around. I saw the original broadway cast a million years ago and this gives them a run for their money. It’s really interesting to see it staged in a completely toned down realistic suburb setting compared to the innovative but heavily stylized stage set in the original production. Looks like Betsi Morrison and Luke Walrath put in a ton of work behind the scenes and help to run the theater company in addition to starring in this which makes it even more impressive. Really great cinematography and editing.

That was SO good omg??? yall did so well, I loved it. THIS is how I always pictured musicals on film!

This is so dam cool!!!!

🤗🌹

INCREDIBLE!

Brilliant! Everyone involved is amazing. The videography, set design and special effects give this version an extra dimension that completely transcends the original production.

Absolutely incredible performance, directing, editing, everything.

stunning i wish you would post some of your plays on youtube for everyone to enjoy i cant wait to see what your doing this year alpine

Amazing job!! I think I have a new favorite cast.

Um pardon my French but this is Fucking amazing and how have I not seen it before?

This was phenomenal. Thank you!

This is cool in concept… the vocals are def the strongest part of this. I get the impression these actors aren’t used to camera acting since some of the choices read as a little cringe on camera but feel as though they would fit well on stage. I found a lot of the blocking uninspired and dull, especially where the text is more concept than concrete. From a technical standpoint much of the cinematography felt chaotic, but not always intentionally so. Some scenes have a lot of quick cuts that were kind of dizzying where they didn’t need to be. The sound levels were sometimes pretty inconsistent between scenes. But these are picky critiques, these absolutely seem like competent performers and I feel as tho better artistic direction would have done them a lot of good.

Wow -- I just watched the opening number and wanted to comment before I get drawn into watching the rest. Really amazing -- thank you!

Why am I only seeing this now? This is brilliant! Just wonderfully executed in everyway. Wow

This is horrible! Stop singing to the camera.

baccic tem q aprender com esse dai kkk muito bom

This. Is. Phenomenal. I feel like everything I have to say about this can be summed up with this version of I’m Alive. The cinematography is sublime, the singing is amazing, the acting is wonderful, and whatever was going on with Gabe’s voice was truly the icing on the cake! The whole thing is wonderful, and that scene is the epitome of it.

Can you guys please make more things like this... You all are amazing! and the way you filmed this! SO incredible and creative! I love this play and you certainly transformed it for film perfectly, and I would love to see what else you guys do... THANK YOU FOR THIS. I posted this in the broadway group, and sent it to a bunch of my friends... <3

Fantastic hybrid of the stage version and a low budget indie movie version--but it’s really more theater in the real world but super smartly directed to include the definitely needed creative camera work to keep it from stagnating. Which is extra nice because the blocking on the multi-level Broadway stage is non-stop action and flow. The heart of the show is absolutely alive and beating powerfully throughout this entire production. The acting is exactly what you want in that they’re clearly all stage-actors. It may not be Alice Ripley and the most electric and recognizable Bway cast get immediately under your skin and grip your soul, but the singing is still technically top notch. And the cast totally grew on me quickly. In terms of sharing this, I would much sooner recommend it WAY before watching filmed versions of regional productions, for those who missed it on Bway and struggle with the Bootlegs…..or even for those who aren’t true theater nerds to where they would even put up with bootlegs, but who still DO want to see it (or SHOULD)🤌🏼✨❤️‍🔥✨

Love!!! That opening sequence-- one continuous shot-- Brilliant! This is my favorite modern musical and now I love it even more. Cast and production crew were phenomenal. 👏👏👏

this is awesome , like a a movie but more like a irl theater show ,

I hope this gets more acknowledgement and views. Each character nailed the emotions thru acting and singing. More power to this channel and more musical production in the future.
