Click here for more information on this production that runs through April 13

"Next to Normal is a powerful musical with emotionally charged characters and a deeply human story told through an electrifying score. It’s also a musical that demands both vulnerability and clarity in its performances and direction to ensure the serious themes in the show resonate and Final Act Theatre’s production delivers on both fronts. With a talented cast and sure-footed direction guiding every beat, and a small venue that brings the powerful weight of every action incredibly close to the audience, this staging of the Pulitzer Prize-winning musical finds the emotional truth in every lyric, line, and moment. The result is a moving and resonating theatrical journey and a solid production of this excellent musical..."   - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
