Every family has its secrets. For the Goodmans, suburban life is about to go awry. Diana, the family's matriarch, is beginning
to lose control of reality as her bipolar disorder takes over her life. Next
to Normal tickets let you experience a moving, dramatic musical that explores the struggles of every family dealing with
mental illness.
Over the course of two acts, Next to Normal takes audiences on an emotional roller coaster as Diana Goodman tries to maintain
her sanity. At the same time, she has responsibilities as a mother that she can no longer meet. Her children and husband reach
wit's end - and then discover that there may be hope, a light in the dark.
Next to Normal is coming to Seattle's 5th
Avenue Theatre, a hothouse for Seattle's theater scene for years now. It originally opened in 1926, becoming one of the
chief places where fans of vaudeville could find entertainment. In more recent decades, it has become a place where both off-Broadway
shows can find their first audiences, as well as ground zero for major Broadway productions making their way to the Pacific
northwest.
After an off-Broadway run in 2008, Next to Normal became a Broadway hit the following year. It has since spread to countries
all over the world, and tickets
continue to be hot sellers. Look up above to see what theater dates are left for the current season.
