“Next to Normal” is one of the great scripts in the lexicon of American Musical theater.  It gets a superb staging at Porthouse.  The direction, performances and technical aspects are all right on target.  This is a must see production that should not be missed!

Looking at the scant description of the show might make some think twice about attending. This would be a mistake. The music (with a superb six piece orchestra) and the excellent cast make this must see theater. Kudos goes out to Porthouse for the courage to stage this extraordinary performance that addresses the subject of modern mental health and its various treatments.

This is the 50th anniversary season of Porthouse, the Alice Ripley alumna vibe is in the air, and this version of Next to Normal is another winner.
