Center Stage

Next to Normal

Oct 8โ€“Nov 16

Music by Tom Kitt

Book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey

Directed by David Schweizer

Get up close and personal with the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that changed everything, as Next to Normal gets a blistering new production in Center Stageโ€™s intimate Head Theater. The story of one familyโ€™s struggle with mental illness, Next to Normal dives boldly into the gaps and crevices of our modern fragmented lives. Set to an electric score, this โ€œbrave, breathtaking musicalโ€ (The New York Times) gets right to the heart of what it means to truly miss someone.

Approximate running time is 2 hours and 15 minutes, including a 15 minute intermission.

Next to Normal features a vibrant rock score that won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Original Score and the 2008 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Music. Listen to the original Soundtrack here.
