Next to Normal is an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief. As its heart is Diana Goodman (__Caissie Levy__ in an Olivier Award-nominated performance), a suburban wife and mother living with bipolar disorder and haunted by her past.
“As staged afresh in London under the astute eye of director Michael Longhurst, Next to Normal has a renewed sting. The result is transformative…there’s no more vital theatrical place to be.” Matt Wolf, The New York Times Critic’s Pick
Next To Normal features a thrilling and original rock score by Pulitzer, Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award winner __Tom Kitt__ and book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner __Brian Yorkey__. Starring alongside Levy (who originated the role of Elsa in Frozen on Broadway) are Olivier Award-winner __Jamie Parker__ (*The Crown, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child*), __Jack Wolfe__ (Netflix’s *Shadow & Bone* and winner of the UK Critic’s Circle and WhatsOnStage Awards for *Next to Normal*), Olivier Award winner __Eleanor Worthington-Cox__ (BAFTA nominated for T*he Enfield Haunting, Matilda*), __Trevor Dion Nicholas__ (*Aladdin*) and __Jack Ofrecio__.
Award-winning __Michael Longhurst__ directs this brilliant new production that the Sunday Express calls “electrifying, heart wrenching and profoundly human.”
