Next to Normal is a powerful, contemporary musical by Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt that explores the hidden struggles of a seemingly typical American family. Winner of three Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this groundbreaking work reshaped modern musical theater with its emotional depth and soaring, rock-infused score.

Dad is an architect. Mom packs lunches. Their teenage children are bright and full of life. But beneath the surface, the family is navigating the long and complicated impact of bipolar disorder. As memory and reality collide, each member fights to hold on to connection, stability and hope.

Raw, intimate and deeply human, Next to Normal offers an unflinching look at love, loss and resilience and the strength it takes to keep going.
