We have two more shows to announce for the 2010-2011 Bushnell Broadway Series - and here is one of them! NEXT TO NORMAL, which won three 2009 Tony Awards, will be coming to The Bushnell March 29-April 3, 2011!

From the director of Rent comes NEXT TO NORMAL, an emotional powerhouse of a musical with a thrilling contemporary score about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other. Winner of three 2009 Tony® Awards including Best Score, NEXT TO NORMAL is the most talked about new show on Broadway having recently been chosen as “one of the year’s ten best” by major critics around the country. The New York Times calls NEXT TO NORMAL “a brave, breathtaking musical. A work of muscular grace and power. It is much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel-everything musical.” Rolling Stone raves, “It is the best musical of the season – by a mile. It’ll pin you to your seat.”
