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 Lauren Kennedy singing on WNCN News!

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
