Variety: "Broadway calls them sung-through musicals, but in essence they're operas: 'Caroline, or Change,' 'Spring Awakening' and now 'Next to Normal.'
Regardless of what you call them, these 'operas' appear to have better legs than new works commissioned and/or presented by the San Francisco, L.A. and Metropolitan Opera companies -- such works as 'Grendel,' 'The Fly,' 'The First Emperor' and 'Dr. Atomic,' the last of which has fared the best of the lot, with a handful of stagings in the past four years."
