Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Lauren Kennedy, Mike Schwitter and More in Rehearsals for NCT's NEXT TO NORMAL

North Carolina Theatre's NEXT TO NORMAL opens at the A.J. Fletcher Opera Theater tonight, May 1 and runs through May 10. Check out a sneak peek at rehearsals below!

Winner of THREE Tony® awards and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Broadway's most talked-about new musical is "brave and breathtaking" according to The New York Times, and a show that "pushes Broadway in new directions" says Rolling Stone. Next to Normal tells the story of a mother, Diana Goodman, who struggles with bipolar disorder and the effect that her illness has on her family. With a thrilling contemporary rock score, Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse about a family trying to stay sane and keep their family's world intact in the face of mental illness. The NY Times says "It is something much more than a feel-good musical: it is a feel-everything musical" - Ben Brantley
