In the acclaimed Broadway musical Next to Normal, we meet the Goodman family who at first glance live a normal middle-class life, but behind the facade of their home, the family struggles with the effects of mom Diana's bipolar disorder. In the shadow of exalted son Gabe, daughter Natalie becomes increasingly invisible, and as boyfriend Henry tries to support her, he too is drawn into the family's struggle. Dad Dan does his best to keep things together, because even if things aren't perfect, maybe life can still be almost normal.
This is a twisted family drama with a deep emotional undercurrent. The six-strong ensemble is accompanied by a six-piece orchestra. Together they invite you into a captivating musical universe. There are no simple truths here, but an opportunity to follow a person's struggle with mental illness that takes us through both laughter and tears.
Next to Normal has won both Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for best musical and drama. Now this world success is presented by Teater Västernorrland.
