The cast of Mill Mountain Theatre’s upcoming production of Broadway musical Next To Normal has been announced. Next To Normal runs June 20 – 29 on the Waldron Stage.
Winner of the Pulitzer-Prize for Drama, this groundbreaking musical follows the Goodmans, a seemingly typical American family whose lives are anything but normal. The contemporary and electrifying musical shares the Goodman family’s intricate battle with mental health. Abundant with love, sympathy, and heart, Next To Normal takes the audience into the minds of each character, and reminds us that nobody’s family is normal.
Next To Normal features Amy Baldwin* (Diana), Chris Gleim* (Dan), Mikayla Cohen (Natalie), Jake Ellsworth (Gabe), Gianni Palmarini (Henry), and Briar Boggs (Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine). *Amy Baldwin & Chris Gleim appear courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association.
