Tom Kitt, a graduate of Byram Hills High School, has been busy with several projects, including writing a musical with Green Day. But he hasn’t put “Next to Normal” behind him.
On Wednesday, Kitt and fellow Tony-winner Brian Yorkey will premiere a new song — “Something I Can’t See — which they wrote with input from the show’s Twitter followers. Of the more than 850,000 followers on Twitter, Kitt and Yorkey sifted through more than 4,000 suggestions posted 140 characters at a time and eventually settled on “Something I Can’t See,” which will be performed by cast members Louis Hobson (Dr. Madden) and Aaron Tveit (Gabe) at 92Y Tribeca (200 Hudson Street) on Wednesday, October 28 at 7:00pm.
The one-night-only event will include a panel discussion featuring Kitt, Yorkey, director Michael Greif and producer David Stone.
Tickets and information are available at www.92YTribeca.org.
Next to Normal sought ideas from the Twitter followers on all aspects of the new song, from which characters are performing it and where it takes place in the musical’s storyline, to song structure and lyric suggestions.
The song will not be incorporated into the Tony-winning musical.
Fans around the world are encouraged to follow the event live via the show’s Twitter (www.Twitter.com/n2nbroadway) or by searching #n2nevent on Twitter.
