Next to Normal
February 13 – March 15, 2015

Music by Tom Kitt,
Book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey

Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for drama, Next to Normal is a contemporary musical that explores how one suburban household copes with love and crisis. With electrifying music and lyrics, Next to Normal shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family’s world intact. Ben Brantley from the New York Times called it “A brave, breathtaking new musical. It is something much more than a feel-good musical: it is a feel-everything musical.”

Reviews – Critics

“…sensitively directed by the Henry Award-winning Nick Sugar, who again shows his expertise in telling a demanding story.” –Sonya Ellingboe, Littleton Independent

“… the third version of Next to Normal I’ve seen, and it’s by far the most revelatory. One of the things that troubled me before was the heaviness of the score.” –Juliet Wittman, Westword

With an outstanding cast whose voices are clear as bells in their solos, and cacaphonic in the musical mash-ups portending trouble, this production of “Next To Normal” is sharp and jarring.” –Claire Martin, The Denver Post
