About the play
With Tony Award-winning music by Tom Kitt and a book and lyrics by Brian 
Yorkey, “Next to Normal” concerns a mother who struggles with a worsening 
bipolar disorder and the effect that her illness has on her family. The 
musical also addresses such issues as grieving a loss, suicide, drug 
abuse, ethics in modern psychiatry and suburban life. According to the 
Pulitzer Board, “Next to Normal” is a “powerful rock musical that grapples 
with mental illness in a suburban family and expands the scope of subject 
matter for musicals.”

The Lakeland Civic Theatre’s production features Aimee Collier as Diana, 
Emma Wahl as Natalie, Rick McGuigan as Dan, Trey Gilpin as the doctor, Ben 
Donahoo as Gabe, and Patrick Miller as Henry.
