is it weird that when I saw the show and the song started picking up I started smiling? It's just so thrilling and powerful it was hard not to get swept away with him. There is definitely an element of fear or danger or risk to this.I saw Kyle and he was great. Phenomenal even. Everytime he set foot on stage I was drawn to him. His presence was inredible. I wish I could see Aaron as well because I am a huge fan and it would be awesome to see the differences in portrayal. <3
i didnt think gabe was a creeper, i thought he was just desperate for them to accept him and greive him say his name, admit he was there, and after being ignored so long wouldnt you go alitte....creeper too.
Sonofapuplulu (or whatever)- it is amazing everything is so powerful. Just listening to the cd isn't even close to how you feel in the theater. I can barely explain it. I suggest go seeing it for yourself ( even though most of the obc isn't there anymore) it's definatley worth it.
Is it okay to say that I really don't like Gabe? Don't get me wrong I love love Aaron but the character of Gabe really freaks me out and I find him to be a jerk. Even Diana sings at one point about him being a shit. LOL!
He's likable, his words are positive and hopeful. But some of the songs (like this one) have this really sinister twinge to them. So yeah, It's intended that you want to both like him, but not like him because he's essentially the villain on a side of the story.
diana has her memory erased and doesn't see gabe for the first part of the second act, but she feels something's missing. eventually she finds the music box that she used to play to him and remembers who he is. She and dan get into a huge fight over it , leading into this song where she sees him again and he regains his power over her, which is why it's so intense at the end. it's the part where the audience goes "OH NO!" and realize how scary gabe really is.
I remember seeing this a few days ago and thinking in the 1st act that Gabe was the good in Diana, he was her reason for staying alive. But then he got her slit her wrists, and then THIS when he's like "Until you name me, you can't tame me!" Gahhh so chilling!
oh my gosh. I just saw Next to Normal two days ago and it was amazing. this was the most amazing, creepy, chilling, terrifying, breathtaking moment in show... Diana finally sees him again and he's back in control. Oh my gosh. I was SHAKING. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone else hear the BLATANT auto-tune warble at 0:54 when he sings "death defied"? I just heard it for the first time tonight and it was kind of a shock.
Your the greatest person in the world for posting all the songs.
Thanks sooooo much. and i agree with everyone else. Aaron Tveit plays him the best I think anyone could. Lets just hope the new guy who started june 6th can be good. thats why I am totally waiting till sept. when aaron gets back to see the show.
i agree 100% . he is the best possible person to play the role of Gabe!!!! and im waiting till september when he comes back too :) HE IS FUCKING GORGEOUS TOOO AHH AND HAS THE MOST AMAZING VOICE!!!!!!
XD Gabe is a super creeper and I adore how Aaron plays him. I didn't think it was possible for me to be terrified of anyone while they were singing, but Gabriel proved me wrong.
Now I can see where Diana comes from lol. If I kept seeing (hearing? seeing and hearing? hallucinating, obvy- i rely heavily on twitter lol) him, I think I'd go insane, too. Have you read what they post for him on the n2n twitter? So creepy...
@psychickiwibird haha this is actually really scary :P haha, Aaron is the one and only man who can play Gabe this well , Kyle is notthat grat , Aaron however really brings his character to life (:
@catherine869 I disagree. Kyle was amazing, and I've seen both of them perform this song. I personally like Kyle better out of the two. He was honestly frightening.; he had me out of my seat, shaking. Not that Aaron wasn't good - he's still great! I just prefer Kyle as Gabe. (:
I love you Aaron Tveit.

I love how he starts off softly, almost kinda like whispering. Then his voice become stronger towards the end. Quite fierce, actually. (:

This is the second song that I caught autotune on. :-\ It's not just regular autotune where it's barely noticeable, it's T-Pain autotune.

I feel bad for him because he <SPOILER< died at such a young age...and is terrified that his mom and later his whole family will forget about him.

oh, make that two questions: how did gabe die? i cant see this in New York, and i really wanna know.
SapAndJil 2 years ago
yeah gabe is singing to dan...kind of taunting him after diana goes crazy and starts hallucinating him again
as a baby, gabe died of an intestinal blackage i think, but it only says that in the show
ahh i just saw it on sunday with the whole original cast (except j robert spencer) and it was AMAZING
