A moving musical about mental illness and its impact on the family
The Goodmans are a seemingly normal family: Diana takes care of the house, Dan earns a living, their daughter Natalie dreams of breaking out of her hometown, and son Gabe is a rebellious teenager. But the Goodmans have a family secret that makes their world crumble like a house of cards. “Next to Normal” is a rock musical about mental illness and its impact on all family members. On Broadway, the performance caused a sensation and was described as a landmark in the modern history of the musical. A socially important theme, an engaging story and great music earned the show a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in the USA and three Tony Awards — the theatrical Oscars.
