Quintessence of Dust Theatre Company/Rachel Kunstadt present a one night only performance of Pulitzer Prize winning musical Next to Normal to benefit The JED Foundation. Directed by Daniella Caggiano, the event will take place on Thursday, February 1st, 2018 at 7 pm at JCC Manhattan on 334 Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side.

 

Next to Normal is a rock musical that centers around a mother who struggles with worsening bipolar disorder and the effects that her illness and its management have had on her family. It features book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt. Leading the cast will be Tony Award nominee Christiane Noll (Ragtime) and Broadway veteran Darius de Haas (Shuffle Along) as Diana and Dan, respectively. Additional casting will be announced at a later date.

 

Inspired by the Hamlet quote, Quintessence of Dust produces theatrical creations that ask challenging questions, inspire exploration and passion, expose and explore the taboo, and give voice to the underrepresented.
