Next to Normal is a musical about a woman called Diana who is struggling with Bipolar disorder and how it affects her relationships with her family. The show follows her as we see her go through various treatments while her husband Dan remains hopeful that she will get better and her gifted daughter, Natalie who's relationsips with her mother is strained due to her struggles to be perfect in comparison to her brother Gabe. The twist is that Gabe actually, died in childbirth but who Diana in her manic episodes still believes is alive and appears to her in hallucinations. It's a really good show but it's very ..raw I guess is the word. It doesn't let up on your emotions even in the funny moments till the end. You will need tissues..lots of tissues.
