Next to Normal

Nominated for 4 Olivier Awards including Best New Musical, the critically acclaimed, sold-out Donmar Warehouse production of Next to Normal comes to London’s West End for a strictly limited season at Wyndham’s Theatre from 18 June 2024.

Next to Normal is an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief. As its heart is Diana Goodman (Caissie Levy in an Olivier Award-nominated performance), a suburban wife and mother living with bipolar disorder and haunted by her past.

When the groundbreaking musical premiered on Broadway in 2010, Ben Brantley from The New York Times hailed it as "Brave and breathtaking. It is something much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel-everything musical." Similarly, Peter Marks of The Washington Post praised it as "a moving, blisteringly honest, and inordinately powerful new musical stocked with beautiful songs that get to the heart of the story – and simply get to the heart."

Next to Normal went on to secure three Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, and the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Drama, making it one of only 10 musicals in history to receive this honour.
