Next to Normal runs July 11-17, 2024 at the Oak Grove Theater

There’s a difference between being happy and just thinking you’re happy – Brian Yorkey, ‘Next to Normal’. Opening July 11, 2024

A Pulitzer-Prize winning pop/rock musical with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt. This contemporary musical is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life. With provocative lyrics and a thrilling score, this musical shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family’s world intact. NEXT TO NORMAL was nominated for 11 Tony Awards in 2009 and won three: Best Original Score, Best Orchestration and Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical (Alice Ripley). It became the eighth musical to win Tony Awards and also win a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, following on the heels of “Rent” in 1996.
