Next to Normal

Music by Tom Kitt, book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey


Our Season opens with the thoroughly modern Next to Normal, nominated for 11 Tony Awards in 2009 (winner of 3 including Best Original Score), and winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.  The Washington Post called it “the future of American Musicals.”  With a thrilling contemporary score, Next to Normal is a powerful rock musical about a suburban family trying to take care of themselves and each other.  “A brave, breathtaking musical… It is something much more than a feel-good musical: it is a feel-everything musical.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times.
