Next To Normal

Author(s): Music by Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey

Critically acclaimed Broadway musical Next To Normal is an intimate exploration of family and loss. At its heart, Diana Goodman is a suburban wife and mother living with bipolar disorder and haunted by her past.

Donmar Artistic Director Michael Longhurst directs the UK première of this rock musical about a far from average family.

Next to Normal was the winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and three Tony Awards including Best Original Score.
