Photo Flash: First Look at Baldwin Wallace University's NEXT TO NORMAL at Beck Center
Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2009 Tony Award for Best Score, Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse of a musical featuring a compelling pop rock score that shatters through the façade of a suburban family dealing with the traumatic effects of mental illness. This intense, emotional, yet ultimately hopeful musical makes a direct grab for the heart with a story that takes us inside the lives of a typical American family that is anything but typical. Contains strong adult language and themes and may not be suitable for audiences 17 years and under.
