A current poll, which closes Aug. 21, is accepting votes for possible solos and duets for the characters of Henry, Dr. Madden, Natalie and Henry, Dr. Madden and Gabe, and Natalie and Dr. Madden. Kitt and Yorkey will then accept input from fellow Tweeters regarding the lyrics. While there are no plans to incorporate the song into the musical, it will debut at the 92YTribeca on Oct. 28 as part of "On Stage with Next to Normal," with members of the cast and creative team.
This marks the first time a Broadway musical has created a song via the new internet trend. Next to Normal is also the first Broadway production to offer a Twitter version of the show online (the characters "Tweet" their perspectives).
