And just like that, Next to Normal comes to an end. 💜

What a journey. A sold-out run, a string of 5-star reviews, and an EFFTA Gold Festival Award — but our greatest achievement will always be the incredible people who brought this show to life.

To our extraordinary cast and crew: we are so proud of you. Thank you for your talent, courage, commitment and heart.

And to every audience member who came, supported us, laughed, cried and shared the journey with us — thank you.

We’ll be carrying this one with us for a long time.

What a show. What a team. What a privilege. 💟

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Divinely and devastatingly beautiful.”

We’re incredibly proud to share this 5-star review of Next to Normal from Theatre Weekly.

Describing the production as “a truly unmissable performance,” the review is a wonderful recognition of the extraordinary work of our cast and creative team — and of the emotional power of this remarkable show.

After a completely sold-out run and a growing string of 5-star reviews, these words mean an enormous amount to everyone at Bare Productions.

We’re thrilled to share our latest review of Next to Normal — 4.8 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

“Next to Normal is powerful, complex and emotionally resonant, with themes that stay with you.”

With our Fringe run still ongoing and every performance sold out, we’re incredibly proud of the cast, creative team and everyone who has poured so much into bringing this extraordinary show to life.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us so far. We can’t wait to share Next to Normal with the rest of our audiences!

Five-star reviews. Full houses. Big feelings.

From intimate rehearsals to those moments on stage that hit you right in the chest — Next to Normal has been one hell of a ride.

And now? Every single show is SOLD OUT. 💜

So here’s to the chaos, the heartbreak, the harmonies, the laughter, the tears — and the incredible people who made it happen.

A little look behind the scenes of a 5-star, sold-out Edinburgh Fringe production, and Scotland exclusive of Next to Normal.
