NEXT TO NORMAL Closes at Playhouse On The Square
By: BWW News Desk Feb. 12, 2012
One family is about to face the music. A suburban mom suffering from bipolar disorder decides to stop taking her medication and the fallout forces her and her family to confront the memories they have each avoided. Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for drama and three Tony Awards in 2009, this contemporary musical is about a family who go to great lengths to hold their world together while grappling with mental illness.
next to normal is directed by Gary John LaRosa (A Midsummer Night’s Dream opera a capella) and features Leah Bray Nichols (August: Osage County; Eleemosynary), David P. Foster (2011 Ostrander Award-winner for Dividing the Estate), Ben Laxton (Avenue Q), Kelsey Hopkins (Avenue Q), Patrick Mullen, Jr. (Footloose) and visiting artist Seth Grugle*.
next to normal runs through February 12 at Playhouse on the Square. Playhouse on the Square is located at 66 S. Cooper Street in Midtown.
