They're the perfect suburban family - Dad's an architect, brother and sister are acing their classes, and Mom's keeping them all together. There's just one small detail nobody wants to acknowledge - Mom's been battling bipolar disorder and delusional episodes for 16 years. Next to Normal is a compassionate look into how a family copes when mental health verges on the sublime.
With book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, this winner of three 2009 Tony Awards and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize is an electrifying and poignant depiction of a family in crisis trying to overcome the past, featuring an all-Canadian cast.
