Next to Normal

ABOUT THE SHOW

See a sensational cast of professional Broadway performers and rising stars in this Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize–winning rock musical.

Directed by Michael Jablonski—Broadway veteran and current faculty member with UCF musical theatre—and starring Broadway veteran Kim Sava, the story centers on Diana Goodman and her family as they navigate the challenges of bipolar disorder, grief and healing. As each member of the family searches for stability, the show offers a raw and honest portrayal of resilience and the impact of mental illness while a dynamic, contemporary rock score by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey sets the scene.

Featuring Orlando-based creatives and performers with national and regional touring and professional credits alongside our Resident Artist interns—all currently pursuing BFAs in musical theatre—this poignant production now takes our stage for four days.
