it was nice Elton gave N2N props - as he accepted his Tony for Billy and his Boys.

Nice job,,,

What it's aboot is beautiful people trying to live a life that makes some degree of sense. Our job is the same! Alice is an amazing actress for sure!

[MrJohneybgood]

Dont get me wrong.. Billy Elliot was great.. but N2N should have gotten the tony. It was so much more original and more emotionally capturing that Billy Elliot.

I'm so sad that billy elliot won

seeung thus june 21sr in philly on tour cant wait

[StaraziaSelin66]

you got all their signatures? if not then what're they doing there...

oh my god, im still so frustrated that N2N did NOT win Best Musical...ugh. but i do believe alice won a tony. :) good thing, too. but spencer (dan) got cheaped out by the three billys...i think if billy elliot wasn't nominated for anything, next to normal would have sweeped the tonys. thumbs up if you agree.

Eh?

[BroadwayBabeify]

haha. alice is so adorable. the sweetest person ever! i saw this show and i loved it! my family liked it but thought it was too depressing so they ended up disliking it overall beause of that. i wanna see it everyday of my life.

Perfect review. Greatest musical ever written, and I've seen 'em all! Forget the Tonys, West Side Story, Gypsy, Hair, Follies, etc. also all lost.

I agree completely with this review! I've seen N2N seven times so obviously I'm a big fan, but I DON'T usually cry at shows (at least not the first time I see them, everything usually goes so fast) and this one I bawl every time! But it's true, you won't come out of the theatre skipping, but you'll come out cleansed, like all the emotion you've unconciously been bottling up is finally released, it's wonderful for the soul :) SEE IT NOW!!! Also btw DO NOT look up the synopsis, trust me!!!
