A heartfelt portrait of a modern family, Next to Normal portrays the heartache, beauty, and honesty of healing from grief and loss. 

Winner of three Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this powerful musical centres on a suburban household deeply affected by mental illness. With a gripping book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey (13 Reasons Why) and a soaring contemporary rock score by Tom Kitt (Bring It On, If/Then), Next to Normal offers a raw and unflinching look at a family in crisis

At its heart is Diana Goodman, a wife and mother living with bipolar disorder. As she reconciles her past and mental illness, Diana’s journey impacts her husband Dan, their daughter Natalie, and son, Gabe, all navigating the complexities of a loving yet dysfunctional family working to find the light.
