NEW RELEASE – Next to Normal




Next to Normal - the acclaimed, groundbreaking musical "that pushes Broadway in new directions" (Rolling Stone) is now available for licensing in Australia and New Zealand.  With a thrilling contemporary score, Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse musical about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other.

Music by Tom Kitt

Book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey

Two Acts, Book Musical - Original Broadway Version

Casting:  4 Men, 2 Women (All roles require strong singers)

 

NEXT TO NORMAL was nominated for eleven 2009 Tony Awards and won three: Best Original Score, Best Orchestration and Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for Alice Ripley. It won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, becoming just the eighth musical in history to receive the honour. In awarding the prize to Kitt and Yorkey, the Pulitzer Board called the show "a powerful rock musical that grapples with mental illness in a suburban family and expands the scope of subject matter for musicals."

 

"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

"A hallmark of a great musical is that it can grab you, shake you and take you into its world. NEXT TO NORMAL did before - and still does." -New York Daily News

"The future of American Musicals." -The Washington Post
