<p>I’m so sorry for being a butt about this, but Next to Normal actually started in New York. It was “Feeling Electric” for a while, and then the first time it was called Next to Normal was at Second Stage, Off-Broadway. However, they made a bunch of tweaks and a few cast changes and then Next to Normal in its current incarnation opened at Arena Stage in DC, and then transferred to the Booth on Broadway. 
Sorry I’m such a dork.</p>
<p>But yeah, NYU’s grad school is definitely an option for me, at least.</p>
