Sunset Players will be the first Greater Cincinnati community theater to present the Pulitzer-Prize winning rock musical Next to Normal by Tom Kitt with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey.
“Next to Normal offers several firsts for Sunset Players,” explained show director Jerry Yearout. “The theater group is premiering the show in the Greater Cincinnati area. It is also the first summer show for Sunset Players and goes outside the theater group’s usual comedic fare into a serious musical.”
Next to Normal tells the story of a mother who struggles with bipolar disorder and the effect her illness has on her family. This contemporary musical is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life. With provocative lyrics and a thrilling score, this musical shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family’s world intact.
The cast for the Sunset Players’ performance includes real-life husband and wife (Jen and Jared Ryan) who portray husband and wife Diana and Dan Goodman. The entire cast is:
-Jen Ryan as Diana Goodman
-Jered Ryan as Dan Goodman
-Megan Callahan as Natalie Goodman
-Robert Breslin IV as Gabe Goodman
-Gregory Shaffer as Dr. Fine
-Luka Ashley Carter as Henry
