Next to Normal

Step into the tumultuous world of Next to Normal, where the facade of suburban normalcy shatters to reveal a family dealing with loss, grief, and mental illness. In this groundbreaking musical, we follow the Goodmans as they confront the shadows looming over their lives. Diana, a mother and wife haunted by her past, battles with bipolar disorder, her daily struggles rippling through the family dynamics. Dan, her devoted husband, walks a tightrope between love and frustration as he tries to support Diana while keeping the family from falling apart. Their daughter Natalie, a talented but conflicted teenager, grapples with her own identity amidst the chaos at home while Gabe, their son, remains the charismatic enigma of the family.
