Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to prepare meals; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling manic depression for years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy and heart.

Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how a family copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize. The long-awaited Cantonese version will be premiered in Hong Kong, featuring a star-studded cast.
