Next to Normal is one of those shows that, after I saw it (for both runs in the UK) I had to seriously refrain myself from buying tickets to see it again and again (actually the Donmar run sold out so I couldn't but that's beside the point). I am bursting with good things to say about it with no one to blurt them out to so you get it here.
Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey weren't pulling punches when they wrote the lyrics and music to this show. I love that musicals can be whimsical and fun and not be taken seriously. But there's an extra special place in my heart for shows like this where the content is so incredibly meaningful. It's raw, and it's real, and you feel and understand something of the motivations of each individual character. And the cast is phenomenal.
Please, please go and see it. Bring tissues.
(but also please read the content warnings first)

Jetzt aber hinterherhinkende Theater-Berichterstattung mal endlich: Next to Normal hinterläßt das Publikum in einem Meer von Tränen: Mutter leidet an bipolarer Störung und sieht nach sechzehn Jahren immer noch ihren als kleines Kind gestorbenen Sohn. Das ist für ein normales Familienleben eher nicht förderlich. Ist nicht der heiterste Musical-Stoff, aber von allen, teilweise noch sehr jungen Mitwirkenden ganz außerordentlich grandios gespielt.

Crazy For You
NEXT TO NORMAL
Wyndham’s Theatre, London, Thursday 11th July, 2024 (Matinee)
The ‘rock musicals’ I’ve come across tend to be epic in scale, sometimes post-apocalyptic, sometimes even Biblical. But this one, with music by Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, is something different. It takes place mostly in a family home, so it’s a ‘kitchen sink rock musical’. The domestic setting…
