Next to Normal
About "Next to Normal"
Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family.

Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy, and heart.
