When the landmark musical debuted on Broadway in 2010, Ben Brantley of The New York Times called it “Brave and breathtaking. It is something much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel-everything musical.” And Peter Marks of The Washington Post called it “a moving, blisteringly honest, and inordinately powerful new musical stocked with beautiful songs that get to the heart of the story – and simply get to the heart.”
NEXT TO NORMAL went on to win three Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, one of only 10 musicals in history to receive the prestigious honour.
NEXT TO NORMAL is an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief. At its heart is Diana Goodman, a suburban wife and mother living with bipolar disorder and haunted by her past. Donmar Artistic Director Michael Longhurst directs this powerful rock musical.
The creative team is rounded out by musical supervisor Nigel Lilley, designer Chloe Lamford, movement, choreography & additional direction Ann Yee, lighting designer Lee Curran, sound designer Tony Gayle, video designer Tal Rosner, casting director Anna Cooper CDG, musical director Nick Barstow and production manager Chris Hay.
NEXT TO NORMAL has music by Tom Kitt, with a book & lyrics by Brian Yorkey.
NEXT TO NORMAL will play the Wyndham’s Theatre, from 18th June 2024, for a strictly limited 14-week season. Tickets are on sale now.
