BWW Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Lørenskog Hus – Still Abnormally Heartbreaking
by Christian Ranke - Sep 7, 2021
When 'next to normal' premiered in Norway back in 2010 it was the very first production to open after the original on Broadway a year and half prior. It was not a replica production, but mimicked it in a lot of ways. It had the three floor structure, endless amount of lightbulbs in the ceilings. This revival, that opened at Lørenskog Hus last Friday, is anything but a replica.

BWW Review: An Emotionally Stirring and Powerful NEXT TO NORMAL Rocks Keegan Theatre
by Benjamin Tomchik - Jun 22, 2016
next to normal may not have Hamilton's name recognition; however it easily ranks as one of the greatest musicals of this century. Provocative and funny, topical and emotionally stirring, it's the musical art form at its best. DC theatergoers now have a fantastic opportunity to see the 2010 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Drama in a powerful, yet intimate, production at Keegan Theatre.
