Book & Lyrics by Brian Yorkey Music by Tom Kitt Directed by Christie Vela Music Directed by Vonda K. Bowling
The Goodman family is just a “normal” family: Dad's an architect, mom packs lunches and makes birthday cakes, and their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens. Under the surface, their family is anything but. “Next to Normal” explores a family’s raw and emotional journey with a mother struggling with chronic bipolar disorder as they navigate a world of therapists and medication. An emotionally charged Tony-Award winning musical!
