Side effects may include… dysfunction.
Dan is an architect; Diana rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their children are bright, wise-cracking teens. They may seem like a typical American family, but their lives are anything but normal – Diana has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years. Containing a thrilling contemporary score by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse of a musical about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other. Join Significant Productions as we celebrate our 10th season with this reimagining of our debut production. Whitney Morse is reprising her critically acclaimed role as Diana, who Chicago critics hailed as “rueful but free of self-pity, funny without resorting to stereotype, and all-around engaging.” – Kelly Kleiman. Don’t miss the show, The New York Times called “Much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel-everything musical.”

Once off of the medication, she harms herself.
