Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey's Tony Award-winning musical, NEXT TO NORMAL, has been awarded the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. A landmark win, only eight musicals have won the Pultizer Prize for Drama, including, Stephen Sondheim's SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE and Jonathan Larson's RENT.
The rock musical explores a woman's journey to solve her mental illness issues on her own.
Playing at the Booth Theatre, NEXT TO NORMAL began Off-Broadway and was re-worked in workshops before making the move to Broadway in Spring 2009. In June, it won three Tonys for Best Score, Best Orchestration, and Best Actress for Alice Ripley, best known for her leading role in SIDE SHOW.
Fall 2010 will see the national tour of NEXT TO NORMAL take to the road. For more information about the Broadway show, or to find the tour's schedule of cities and dates, go to http://www.nexttonormal.com/
