NEXT TO NORMAL is a brave, breathtaking musical. No show on Broadway makes as direct a grab for the heart – or wrings it as thoroughly. It is something much more than a feel-good musical: it is a feel-everything musical.

A work of muscular grace and power, NEXT TO NORMAL is sensitively directed by Michael Greif and features a surging tidal score that – while sustaining the electric momentum of a rock opera – keeps shifting shapes. Simply to describe what occurs doesn’t do justice to the excitement this show generates.

Musicals do not have to bubble with cheer to transport an audience as this one does.

– Ben Brantley, The New York Times

“The best musical of the season by a mile! Rock is alive and rolling like thunder in NEXT TO NORMAL. It is mesmerizing – an emotional powerhouse with a fire in its soul and a wicked wit that burns just as fiercely. Next time you think the Broadway musical is dead, head off to NEXT TO NORMAL. It’ll pin you to your seat.”

– Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

“Fearless! This provocative show is like a fearless indie movie surrounded by a sea of largely predictable blockbusters. A gutsy, unconventional show – not only a serious, substantial, dignified and musically sophisticated new American work, but a moving picture of an empathetic nuclear family whose members are struggling, like many of us, to take care of themselves and each other.”

– Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

“An astonishing feat! Originality, ingenuity and sock-it-to-‘em emotionality. A musical that sings in its own consistently ravishing voice.

– Peter Marks, The Washington Post

“Surprising and moving! The rarest of Broadway species: a thoughtful, emotional musical for grown-ups.”

– Adam Feldman, Time Out NY

“Not to be missed. A fresh, intelligent, compassionate and extremely touching experience. Director Michael Greif has given the show a fast pace and stark, visceral feeling, along with several stunning theatrical moments. Fitted perfectly to Tom Kitt’s music and lyrics by Brian Yorkey that probe the characters’ minds and motivation with great psychological understanding. An exciting leap into the possibilities of musical theater!”

– Robert Feldberg, The Record
