Heath Ledger Theatre

An electrifying rock musical of familial proportions

Next To Normal

Next To Normal is presented through special arrangement with Hal Leonard Australia Pty Ltd on behalf of Music Theatre.

WA PREMIERE

Meet Diana Goodman, loving wife and mother who wants nothing more than for her husband Dan and their two children to get along like one big happy family. But in a seemingly perfect suburban neighbourhood, their struggles, like most families, are anything but normal. They test and mock each other at every turn – but how are they meant to cope when one of them suffers from hallucinations?

Filled with music, fun and pathos, this play revolutionised the genre and is the most critically acclaimed musical since Rent.

Featuring songs like “My Psychopharmacologist and I”, “Didn't I See This Movie?”, and “Superboy and The Invisible Girl” – this world-class production is the prescription you need for the ultimate in contemporary music entertainment.
