Next to Normal isn’t just a musical—it’s a daring, boundary-breaking work that transformed what musical theatre can be. With a soaring pop/rock score and an unflinching look at mental illness, grief, and the fierce will to survive, this Tony Award–winning musical also won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It’s a powerhouse tour-de-force that peels back the layers of a suburban family in crisis. Raw, electrifying, and deeply human, Next to Normal delivers one of the most unforgettable theatrical experiences of our time. Following our history making, critically-acclaimed, and record setting productions of Rent and Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Iron Crow Theatre returns to The M&T Bank Exchange at the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center home of the historic Hippodrome Theatre with a bold new production that launches our 2026 Season of Survival—a season that asks what it means to heal, and to endure, when everything is seemingly at risk. Join us for a story that illuminated the pain—and power—of survival.
Iron Crow Theatre is at 401 W Fayette St, Baltimore, MD 21201, Baltimore, MD.
