Next to Normal

ImagineNation Theatre presents Next to Normal, with books and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness.

Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was chosen as “one of the year’s ten best shows” by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and the New York Times.

Dad’s an architect; mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years.

Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart.

Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse that addresses issues such as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life.
