Profile

You won’t leave Next to Normal humming any of the tunes, but that’s probably too much to ask of a musical about bipolar disorder. You will, however, marvel at how comprehensively, sensitively, even humorously the book handles the devastating collateral damage of mental illness, and at the superb ensemble wrenching your heart note by note. Bring tissues. — Mary Kaye Schilling

New York Critic's Theater picks

  • Finian’s Rainbow

    This marvelous, slightly unhinged revival succeeds because it refuses to wink at the material or treat it as quaint.

  • The Understudy

    Theresa Rebeck’s warm backstage comedy features a thoroughly excellent trio, but the heart of the show is Julie White’s performance.
