Hot off the Press!  News to make note of
Next to Normal Broadway Musical on Bipolar
BIPOLAR DISORDER MEETS THE BROADWAY MUSICAL! One family is about to meet the music. Next to Normal opened in Spring 2009 on Broadway at the Booth Theatre in New York City, following its sold-out engagements at both New York City's Second Stage Theatre and Washington DC’s Arena Stage. The tale of this musical deals with bipolar disorder from the perspective of a suburban household. The character Diana, played by Alice Ripley, is a mother careworn and struggling with bipolar disorder.

Brian Yorkey is the writer and lyricist for the text and songs of this musical. Says the New York Times: "No show on Broadway right now makes as direct a grab for the heart — or wrings it as thoroughly — as “Next to Normal” does. This brave, breathtaking musical, which opened Wednesday night at the Booth Theater, focuses squarely on the pain that cripples the members of a suburban family, and never for a minute does it let you escape the anguish at the core of their lives." read more....
