NEXT TO NORMAL is Coming to Metropolitan Performing Arts This Month

Next to Normal, the groundbreaking and three-time Tony Award-winning rock musical with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tony Kitts, is coming to Metropolitan Performing Arts during Women's History Month this March! Next to Normal follows a typical suburban family grappling with their mother's mental health crisis of manic depression and bipolar disorder she has been dealing with for 16 years. See what the New York Times calls "Brave, heartbreaking [and] feel everything musical!"

"Our cast is filled with some of the most talented actors in the Vancouver/Portland area," states Director Bryce Britton. Despite this challenging score and subject matter, Britton believes everyone involved is "doing it right." Starring: Cora Beeman, Ben Donahoo, Derrick Gregerson, Rhea Hannon, Jonah G. Hill, Amiellia Kolosvary and Walker Laws, with appearances by Molly Jung and Emerson Skogen. Directed by Bryce Britton, Musical Direction by Alex Trull and Choreographed by Shannon Jung.
