Next To Normal - HAOS Productions

About the show

Next To Normal is a contemporary musical with an unflinching look at how one suburban household copes with crisis and the effects of mental illness. With provocative lyrics, and an electrifying score of more than 30 original songs, this unique piece shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family's world intact.
When this landmark musical debuted on Broadway in 2010, it won 3 Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama – one of only ten musicals in history to receive this prestigious honour. A ground-breaking and intimate portrait of a modern family, Next to Normal “tears at the heart in a way few musicals manage” (Attitude)
Next to Normal is an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief. At its heart is Diana Goodman, a suburban wife and mother living with bipolar disorder and haunted by her past. The powerhouse score takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy and heart.
Features a thrilling and original rock score by Pulitzer, Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award winner Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Brian Yorkey, this piece is electrifying, heart wrenching and profoundly human.
