NEXT TO NORMAL runs June 15-July 1

NEXT TO NORMAL
Presented by Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
June 15-July 1
Over-the-Rhine 

Reviews: Enquirer | CityBeat | Broadway World Cincinnati |

The Goodmans seem like a perfect family. The only problem is that sometimes mom seems, well…a little too happy. Fresh from a remarkable Broadway run comes one of the most lauded musicals of the new century! With provocative lyrics and an electrifying score that includes more than 30 original songs, this thrilling, emotional powerhouse of a musical is a story about the stop/start life of a bipolar mother as she rides the sharp edge between coping and insanity.
Content Advisory: This production contains strong language and adult themes and may not be suitable for all audiences.

Directed by D. Lynn Meyers
Choreographed by Patti James

Cast: Jessica Hendy as Diana, Bruce Cromer as Dan, Mia Gentile as Natalie, Michael Schwitter as Gabe, Nick Cearley as Henry & Charlie Clark as Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine
