Bare ProductionsAmateur Company

Following a string of five-star, sell-out shows, Bare Productions return with Next to Normal, the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical that took Broadway by storm. Featuring an unforgettable rock-infused score and moments of heart-stopping honesty, this powerful show explores love, loss and the pressures of modern family life. At its centre is a family struggling to hold things together while facing grief, mental illness and the question of what normal really means. Electrifying and deeply moving, Next to Normal is a bold, emotionally charged night of theatre that stays with you long after the final note.
