Next To Normal (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

After years of listening to the music but never having gotten to experience the show, it seemed time to rectify the situation. Best part of all was Anthony Rapp's introduction: "there's something about the quintessentially American art form known as musical theater that can either drive me crazy or melt my heart. When writing musicals, it's easy to be clever, it's easy to be corny, it's easy to take the easy way out. It takes guts to get to the heart of the matter, to not flinch away from the painful truths and heartbreaks that we all live through." It's no wonder why this musical won the 2009 Tony award for best score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for drama. This book, which contains the entire libretto, reveals subtleties from the script that draw emphasis to the brilliant use of themes, metaphors, and foreshadowing that it contains. Disclaimer/Warning: The material covers mature themes and contains profanity and numerous uses of unfavorable language. Discretion is advised.
