The Beverly Arts Center of Chicago announces a remounting of its acclaimed production of "Next to Normal". To the outside world, the Goodman family are picture perfect: doting father Dan, his brilliant wife Diana and their two teenagers seem to be living the American Dream. But appearances can be deceiving, and beneath the surface, the cracks are widening. This riveting piece of theatre, which won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, deftly explores mental health and the collateral damage one family endures as they try to maintain their "normal". Set to an award-winning rock score by Tom Kitt with a book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey, this is one production not to be missed.
