Connecticut Stage Company continues its third season with the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical, Next to Normal. With an electrifying pop/rock score by Tom Kitt and an honest, gut-wrenching book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, Next to Normal explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy and heart. With a Broadway cast led by 2 Tony Award nominees, tickets are on sale now on our website.

Stay after the performance on Saturday night for an exclusive talkback with Pulitzer Prize, Tony, Grammy & Emmy winning composer of Next to Normal, Tom Kitt. The talkback will be moderated by Bob Doran.

Next to Normal is NOT recommended for those under the age of 14; for portrayal of mental illness, grief, suicide, depression, and drug use.
