Next to Normal announces West End transfer

Written By Emmie Newitt

The “Electrifying… beautiful… heartwrenching” (Sunday Express) Next To Normal announces it’ll be transferring to London’s West End after its critically acclaimed and sold-out run at the Donmar Warehouse earlier in 2023. 

Next To Normal made its long-awaited UK premiere and now more audiences can experience the hype for themselves when the production heads to Wyndham’s Theatre on Tuesday 18 June 2024 for a strictly limited 14-week season. The production won three Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, as well as the Pultizer Prize for Drama during its run on Broadway, debuting in 2010. Next To Normal is one of only 10 musicals in history to have obtained the prestigious honour. 

Next To Normal is an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief. At its heart is Diana Goodman, a suburban wife and mother living with bipolar disorder and haunted by her past. Donmar Artistic Director Michael Longhurst directs this powerful rock musical.

Next To Normal’s creative team is led by Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award-winning composer Tom Kitt and Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning writer Brian Yorkey.

Casting for the West End run is to be announced.

Tickets go on priority on sale on Monday 27 November - sign up at www.nexttonormal.com. General on sale is Friday 1 December.
