Photo Coverage: Curtain Call and Press Night of San Diego Musical Theatre's NEXT TO NORMAL

By:

San Diego Musical Theatre presents the Pulitzer Prize winning NEXT TO NORMAL at the North Park Theatre. It opened on September 26, 2014, and BroadwayWorld brings opening night bows and press night photos below!

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. This contemporary musical is an emotional power- house 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 features Bets Malone* (Diana Goodman), Robert J. Townsend* (Dan Goodman), Eddie Egan* (Gabriel "Gabe" Goodman), Lindsay Joan (Natalie Goodman), Eric Parker(Henry), and Geno Carr* (Dr. Madden). *Member of Actors Equity
