NEXT TO NORMAL
BY POPULAR DEMAND— “NEXT TO NORMAL” IS BACK!
NEXT
TO NORMAL is a unique hybrid musical drama that tells the story about a
mother who struggles with worsening bipolar disorder and the effect
that her illness and the attempts to alleviate it have on her family.
The original opening on Broadway took place April 2009. It was nominated
for eleven Tony Awards (won three) and won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for
Drama.
Back in June of this year, Theater Tulsa,
utilizing amazing local talent, produced and presented this
award-winning show. At that time I was asked if, after one of the
matinee performances, I would be willing to be part of a reflection
panel discussion and field questions from the audience about what it has
been like for me to live with bipolar disorder. It was my privilege to
do so on June 20.
Many
attended the performances of this run, however, many only became aware
of its thought-provoking themes and superb production value after it was
too late to attend. A clamor arose for another run so that more might
have a chance to get in on what they found others so enthusiastically
talking about.
I am happy to share that Theater Tulsa will be re-presenting this amazing production for one final weekend, September 25th-27th. Here is the link for show information and tickets:
It
should be pointed out that this is an adult’s only production and
should be approached as you would the consideration of an R-rated movie.
Dramatically and musically this presentation succeeds in being
simultaneously entertaining.
