Let Live Theater at The Actors Company (West Hollywood, CA)
A rock musical about the devastating toll of mental illness on a contemporary suburban family might seem odd, but Next to Normal became one of Broadway’s biggest hits. It takes on added poignancy when it’s performed by a talented young cast like this one, who were recently invited to perform at the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Next to Normal won three Tony Awards in 2009 and the Pulitzer Prize for its heartbreaking, humorous and unflinchingly authentic look at a seemingly normal modern family struggling with the effects of bipolar disorder. Each character’s journey is further punctuated by powerful music scored by Tom Kitt (American Idiot). This production features a cast and crew made up of teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17.
