Next to Normal

See a cast of professional Broadway performers and rising stars in the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize–winning rock musical “Next to Normal” at the Dr. Phillips Center as part of its Resident Artist Program Aug 6-9, 2026.

Directed by Michael Jablonski, a Broadway veteran and current faculty member with UCF musical theatre, and starring Broadway veteran Kim Sava, the story centers on Diana Goodman and her family as they navigate the challenges of bipolar disorder, grief and healing.

As each member of the family searches for stability, the show offers a raw and honest portrayal of resilience and the impact of mental illness while a dynamic, contemporary rock score by Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey sets the scene.
