🎭 5 Reasons You'll Want to Be Part of Next to Normal

If you're looking for your next musical theatre challenge, Next to Normal might just be the one.

Here's why we're so excited to bring this extraordinary show to the stage ...

1️⃣ Every role matters.
With a cast of just six, every character is integral to the story. Every performer has the opportunity to make a huge impact.

2️⃣ The material will challenge you.
Whether it's the vocals, the acting, or the emotional journey, Next to Normal asks a lot of its cast - and that's exactly what makes it so rewarding.

3️⃣ The music is exceptional.
Tom Kitt's contemporary rock score is packed with powerful solos, stunning harmonies and some of the most exciting musical theatre writing you'll ever perform.

4️⃣ You'll be telling an unforgettable story.
Raw, funny, heartbreaking and hopeful, Next to Normal explores family, love, grief and resilience with honesty and compassion. It's a show that stays with audiences long after the final curtain.

5️⃣ You'll be part of something special.
Winner of three Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Next to Normal is one of the most celebrated musicals of the 21st century - and we're incredibly excited to share it with Yorkshire audiences.
