The Big Deal: Casa Mañana Presents ‘Next to Normal’


by Gila Espinoza 24 Oct 2018 1:02 AM

Casa Mañana’s next mainstage production is “Next To Normal.” The musical, winner of three Tony Awards and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, will run November 3-11 at Casa. “Next to Normal” takes an unflinching look at a suburban family struggling with the effects of mental illness. Dad’s an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. With an energetic pop/rock score, “Next to Normal” is an emotional powerhouse that will take you into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family’s story with love, sympathy, and heart. Sign up below for a chance to be there on opening night, November 3.

Make sure you take the time now to see our two other offerings this week. Throw your hat in the ring for a chance to attend the Dallas Symphony Orchestra’s Bernstein Tribute at the Meyerson Symphony Center or to kick up your heels at the Bluegrass Heritage Festival at the McKinney Performing Arts Center.
