One family is about to face the music
Next to Normal is a 2008 American rock musical with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt. The story centers on a mother who struggles with worsening bipolar disorder and the effects that managing her illness has on her family. The musical addresses grief, depression, suicide, drug abuse, ethics in modern psychiatry, and the underbelly of suburban life.
The winner of three Tony Awards, Next to Normal is one of just a handful of musicals to win the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (2010).
