“Next to Normal does not…qualify as your standard feel-good musical. Instead this portrait of a manic-depressive mother and the people she loves and damages is something much more: a feel-everything musical, which asks you, with operatic force, to discover the liberation in knowing where it hurts." - The New York Times
Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, and winner of three Tony Awards and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness.
NLT's production of Next to Normal is directed by Lena Mucchetti, with musical direction by Tom Mucchetti and features Faith Yesner, Shaun Yates, Jake Collins, Elsa Kegelman, Jameson May and Newton Buchanan.
