The story centers around a mother who struggles with worsening bipolar disorder and the effects that her illness and its management have had on her family. A humorous and unflinching look at a suburban household coping with the unpredictability, “Next to Normal” has been called one of the best musicals of the 21st century, and one of the best original soundtracks in a musical due to its graceful handling of its dark, complex subject matter and its moving and brutally honest exploration into pain. With a thrilling contemporary rock score, “Next to Normal” is an emotional powerhouse.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $22 for general and $20 for students and seniors. Group discounts are also available for groups of 10 people or more.
