Brains can be tricky, and brains can lie. Sometimes all we can do is try to be next to normal and that has to be good enough.
For solo episode number two - John looks at the 2009 hit "Next to Normal" and talks about parallels to "Dear Evan Hansen", subversion in music and lyrics, and how some shows can be a marathon in every way possible.
