WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Winner of three Tony Awards including Best Original Score!
"No show on Broadway right now makes as direct a grab for the heart -- or wrings it as thoroughly -- as Next to Normal does."
-- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's musical, Next to Normal, has arrived on Broadway direct from its critically-acclaimed engagement at Washington D.C.'s Arena Stage. Michael Greif directs.
Next to Normal is a contemporary musical that explores how one suburban household copes with crisis. With provocative lyrics and an electrifying score of more than 30 original songs, the musical shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family's world intact.
Lottery Rush: Beginning 2 hours before each performance, patrons may enter a lottery drawing to purchase a limited number of $25.00 tickets to that day's performance. Names will be drawn at random. Names are drawn 90 minutes prior to the performance. There is a limit of two tickets per person and winners must be present with valid identification at the time of the drawing.
WHAT ARE CRITICS SAYING?
You may want to bring along some tissues to Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's deeply felt musical Next to Normal, currently on view at Broadway's Booth Theatre under the surehanded direction of Michael Greif, as the production takes the audience on an amazing emotional journey that plumbs the depths of despair while also offering a vision of hope. What has evolved from three prior incarnations of the show -- the 2005 New York Musical Theatre Festival version entitled Feeling Electric, the 2008 Off-Broadway production at Second Stage and a more recent revised mounting at Washington D.C.'s Arena Stage -- has resulted in a version of the musical that is simply outstanding.

Review: THE BEST MUSICAL ON BROADWAY!!!
I saw N2N last November 20, and was VERY fortunate to catch the ENTIRE original Broadway cast, including Aaron who had returned a few months prior from Catch Me If You Can and Alice. They were WONDERFUL, and worked SO WELL as an ensemble! I LOVED it. And I was also fortunate that all of them came out to sign at the stage door after the show, so I got all their autographs and pictures. The show comes back to Cleveland in June next year, with Alice, and I CANT WAIT to see it again!!! :-

This play was seen in the Booth Theater Midtown NYC: I admit that having grown up in a home with someone who suffered from depression I was curious about how it was even possible to write a play, let alone a musical, on the topic. After having seen the play, I?m a believer. The play was extraordinary and it doesn?t matter whether you know someone in your family who suffered from this ailment or not, you will get something from this play. Although the play is written specifically about depression you could simply change that word to cancer, kidney failure, heart disease, etc. and the play would have the same meaning. At the very core of the play it?s just a family and how they deal with a family illness. If your fortunate enough not to have had anyone suffering from an illness, in your immediate family, then apply what you learn from the play to friends, neighbors or relatives and you will never look at them the same again. For those of you that like plot twists and unexpected endings you will not be disappointed here. Although I was not moved by the ?face? you will see in the scenery, during the show, one of the friends I brought to the theater thought it was amazing and likened it to ?eyes looking into your soul?. This play is a good night of theater!

It may sound like stunt casting to have a real-life married couple perform the roles of the fictional -- and dysfunctional -- spouses in the Broadway musical Next to Normal, at the Booth Theatre. But when the actors in question are as talented and accomplished as Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley, then it's also a very wise move. Not only are these two excellent in roles that were so memorably established by their theatrical predecessors in the parts, they make them distinctively their own.
Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this musical by Tom Kitt (music) and Brian Yorkey (book and lyrics) centers on the Goodman family, who have been having a rough time of it since a tragic incid[...]
