NEXT TO NORMAL
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and three Tony Awards, Next to Normal is a fearless, deeply human musical. With an electrifying rock score and a compelling, emotionally charged story, this groundbreaking work explores the complexities of family life, love, and the search for stability in an unpredictable world. The musical follows Diana Goodman, a suburban wife and mother who struggles with a worsening mental illness that has taken a toll on her family for years. As she battles with her diagnosis and treatment, her husband Dan fights to keep the family together, their daughter Natalie yearns to be seen, and their home begins to crack under the weight of unspoken trauma.
