Casting "Next to Normal," an American rock musical and winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Synopsis: Next to Normal follows one woman’s struggle with mental illness and the effect her illness has on her whole family. The writers illuminate the experience of those suffering from bi-polar disorder.

"Next to Normal" has been called one of the best musicals of the 21st century due to its graceful handling of its dark, complex subject matter and its moving and brutally honest exploration into pain.
