Pick Me Up Theatre (Anything Goes, Sunday in the Park with George) return with Next to Normal - an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief.

Next To Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize,

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 manic depression 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.

This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre International. All authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI
