"It’s easy to see why Next to Normal struck a chord with the Broadway audience. Tuneful and darkly humorous, it touches a third rail of mental health discourse and refuses to let go.

It also requires acrobatic vocal performances from its six-person cast." Seeking: Diana (she/her) 36-45 Delusional, bipolar, and depressed.
