Book and Lyrics by Brian Yorkey, Music by Tom Kitt

“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.”
