Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt's Tony-winning musical Next To Normal' will be making its much-anticipated West End Premiere in June this year for 14 weeks. With challenging themes of loss and mental illness buoyed by an infectious rock score, Next To Normal' is a powerful show that has become highly regarded since its 2008 Broadway premiere.

So let's meet the cast! The production will be starring Caissie Levy (Frozen) as Diana Goodman, Trevor Dion Nicholas (Hamilton) as Dr Madden/Dr Fine, as well as Jack Ofrecio (From Here to Eternity) as Henry, Jamie Parker (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button) as Dan, Jack Wolfe (Shadow and Bone) as Gabe, and Eleanor Worthington-Cox (The Secret Life of Bees) as Natalie.

What's the story?

Following suburban mother Diana Goodman who, traumatized by the death of her infant son, must try and control her bipolar disorder and keep her family together, it is a heart-achingly relatable musical that tackles difficult subjects and explores how our own experiences shape our place in the world.
