Next to Normal

Next to Normal explores how a suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling manic depression for years. This powerful musical takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.
