Great vocal performances and high emotional intensity by the cast. Do not miss this short run of Next to normal

Denver Center for the Performing Arts has released first look footage of NEXT TO NORMAL, the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical now playing through May 3, 2026 at the Wolf Theatre.

There are musicals that entertain, and then there are musicals that reach into your chest, grab hold of your heart, and refuse to let go. Next to Normal, now playing at The Historic Lyric Theater in Harrison through Sunday, April 19, does exactly that in this powerful collaboration between the Ozark Arts Council and NorthArk Drama.

At first glance, Next to Normal is the quintessential domestic scenario.  We see a suburban family with a seemingly normal life in “Just Another Day.” Diana is the perfect wife, has the perfect husband (albeit he can be a bit boring,) and an angsty teenage daughter who feels invisible. It’s the “perfect, loving, family” dynamic.

Iron Crow’s brave production of NEXT TO NORMAL deserves a longer run. The script is a dramatic treatment of a nearly untouched topic, and the music is gorgeous and brilliantly rendered by excellent musicians and vocalists.
