<DIV><p><B>Winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama</B></p><p>?Rock is alive and rolling like thunder in <I>Next to Normal</I>. It's the best musical of the season by a mile . . . an emotional powerhouse with a fire in its soul and a wicked wit that burns just as fiercely.”?<I>Rolling Stone</I></p> <p>?No show on Broadway right now makes as a direct grab for the heart?or wrings it as thoroughly?as <I>Next to Normal</I> does. . . . [It] focuses squarely on the pain that cripples the members of a suburban family, and never for a minute does it let you escape the anguish at the core of their lives. <I>Next to Normal</I> does not, in other words, qualify as your standard feel-good musical. Instead this portrait of a manic-depressive mother and the people she loves and damages is something much more: a feel-everything musical, which asks you, with operatic force, to discover the liberation in knowing where it hurts.”?Ben Brantley, <I>The New York Times</I></p> <p>Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre, <I>Next to Normal</I> is also available in an original cast recording. It was named Best Musical of the Season by <I>Rolling Stone</I>, <I>The Washington Post</I>, <I>Los Angeles Times</I>, and <I>The New York Times</I>.</p></DIV>
