北京奥哲维文化传播有限公司独家引进发行

普利策奖最佳音乐剧《近乎正常》在百老汇首演15年后首次登上伦敦西区舞台！该剧由布莱恩·约尔基（Brian Yorkey）与汤姆·基特（Tom Kitt）合作创作词曲，曾于2009年获得托尼奖最佳原创词曲、最佳音乐剧女主角及最佳编曲三项大奖；西区版由丹玛尔仓库剧院艺术总监迈克尔·朗赫斯特（Michael Longhurst）执导，并由在百老汇音乐剧版《冰雪奇缘》中打造艾莎一角的凯茜·利维（Caissie Levy）、奥利弗奖得主杰米·帕克（Jamie Parker）、埃丽诺·沃辛顿-考克斯（Eleanor Worthington-Cox）以及杰克·沃尔夫（Jack Wolfe）等联袂出演。

作为一部在题材和音乐表达上都极具开创性的音乐剧，《近乎正常》“以一种少有音乐剧能企及的方式直击心灵”（《态度》杂志），深刻而细腻地探讨了现代家庭生活、心理疾病治疗等问题。故事讲述了患有双相情感障碍的母亲戴安娜·古德曼与疾病艰难抗争的故事，在疗愈过程中她的家人也实现了某种程度的自我重建。普利策奖评审委员会称赞该剧是 “一部探讨现代家庭与精神疾病的超强摇滚音乐剧，拓展了音乐剧创作的边界。”

该版《近乎正常》2023年率先登陆丹玛尔仓库剧院，备受赞誉，后转入西区温德海姆剧院连续驻演3个月，并获得奥利弗奖最佳新创音乐剧、最佳音乐剧女主角、最佳音乐剧男配角以及最佳音乐剧女配角4项提名。

Nominated for 4 Olivier Awards including BEST NEW MUSICAL, the critically acclaimed, sold-out Donmar Warehouse production of Next to Normal played a West End season at Wyndham’s Theatre from 18 June – 21 September 2024.

When this landmark musical debuted on Broadway in 2010, it won 3 Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama – one of only ten musicals in history to receive this prestigious honour. A ground-breaking and intimate portrait of a modern family, Next to Normal “tears at the heart in a way few musicals manage” (Attitude)

Next to Normal is an intimate exploration of family and illness, loss and grief. At its heart is Diana Goodman (Caissie Levy in an Olivier Award-nominated performance), a suburban wife and mother living with bipolar disorder and haunted by her past.

“As staged afresh in London under the astute eye of director Michael Longhurst, Next to Normal has a renewed sting. The result is transformative…there’s no more vital theatrical place to be.” Matt Wolf, The New York Times Critic’s Pick

Next To Normal features a thrilling and original rock score by Pulitzer, Tony, Emmy and Grammy Award winner Tom Kitt and book and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Brian Yorkey. Starring alongside Levy (who originated the role of Elsa in Frozen on Broadway) are Olivier Award-winner Jamie Parker (The Crown, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), Jack Wolfe (Netflix’s Shadow & Bone and winner of the UK Critic’s Circle and WhatsOnStage Awards for Next to Normal), Olivier Award winner Eleanor Worthington-Cox (BAFTA nominated for The Enfield Haunting, Matilda), Trevor Dion Nicholas (Aladdin) and Jack Ofrecio.

Award-winning Michael Longhurst directs this brilliant new production that the Sunday Express calls “electrifying, heart wrenching and profoundly human.”
