Brian Yorkey and Tom Kitt's Tony-winning musical Next To Normal recently had its opening night on June 26th at Wyndham's Theatre. Nominated for four Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical, the production is directed by Michael Longhurst and stars Jamie Parker (Harry Potter and The Cursed Child), Caissie Levy (Frozen), and Trevor Dion Nicholas (Hamilton). The production has received numerous reviews.

What is the story?

The musical follows suburban mother Diana Goodman, who, traumatized by the death of her infant son, must try to 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.

CRITIC REVIEWS

"Broadway star Levy (whose credits include Elphaba in Wicked, Fantine in Les Misrables, and Elsa in Frozen) impresses in "I Miss the Mountains," as she describes her desire to feel something, instead of being numbed by medicine, while Wolfe is hypnotic in rock ballad "I'm Alive."" - London Theatre

"Jack Wolfe, meanwhile, demonstrates why he was Olivier nominated and won a bunch of awards as Gabe. He's a magnetically Puckish presence, an elastic figure of innocence and danger." - TimeOut

"Even so, it may have been marvellous at the Donmar, but it's a must-see now." - What'sOnStage

"Equal parts heartbreaking and heart-wrenching, Next to Normal is the kind of show that you're left thinking about long after you've left the theatre'" - BroadwayWorld

"this show is incredibly impactful and thought provoking, and is such an important show for the West End to receive. I don't think I can say much more than that. I simply adored every second of it, and felt so much in such a short amount of time." - TheatreAndTonic

"This West End transfer of Next to Normal proves that the show's power to move and enlighten audiences has not diminished. It remains a landmark piece of musical theatre, combining raw emotion with musical excellence." - Theatre Weekly
