Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Wyndham’s Theatre
10 / 10
The cast’s energy and talent is showcased and driven by an accomplished modern score, delivered by a 6-piece band who occupy 3 distinct panels above the main playing area. Final mention must go to the sleek, stylish and technically effective set design delivered by Chloe Lamford, redolent of her previous work, most notably her impressive Phaedra at the National Theatre Lyttelton last year.
'Next to Normal' review — Caissie Levy shines in this powerful rock musical about mental health
8 / 10
They are the same cast that premiered the musical at The Donmar Warehouse in 2023, in a production by director Michael Longhurst, and it is clear that their bond has only strengthened since then, which is crucial for a show that interrogates such heavy themes. Indeed, from the opening number, there are already signs of Diana’s mania, and by the second, she is assembling stacks of sandwiches across the stage floor at breakneck speed, throwing around slices of cheese and ham.
