Presented by Shatterbox Theatre

Winner of 3 Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Next to Normal is a powerful and deeply moving contemporary musical that explores family, mental health, love, loss, and resilience.

Featuring a soaring rock-inspired score by Tom Kitt and a compelling book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, Next to Normal is an unforgettable theatrical experience that is both intimate and emotionally gripping.

Presented in a specially transformed immersive venue with fewer than 100 seats per performance, this Shatterbox Theatre production places audiences at the center of the action, creating a uniquely personal connection to this groundbreaking story.
