"One family is about to face the music"

Next to Normal

Music by Tom Kitt,
Book & Lyrics by Brian Yorkey

(January 22 - February 10) 

Winner of three Tony Awards® and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this contemporary musical tells the story of a seemingly normal suburban household - Dad’s an architect, Mom’s a diligent housewife, and the kids are bright, wise-cracking teens.  Yet, their lives are anything but normal due to Mom’s mental illness. An emotionally powerful production, Next to Normal takes audiences into the hearts and minds of each character and presents one family’s story with love, sympathy and compassion.

PRESENTING SPONSOR: Chris and Winnie Mortenson

 "A most moving and memorable theater experience."
