&ldquoNo show on Broadway right now makes as a direct grab for the heart&mdashor wrings it as thoroughly&mdashas Next to Normal does. . . . [It] focuses squarely on the pain that cripples the members of a suburban family and never for a minute does it let you escape the anguish at the core of their lives. Next to Normal does not in other words qualify as your standard feel-good musical. Instead this portrait of a manic-depressive mother and the people she loves and damages is something much more: a feel-everything musical which asks you with operatic force to discover the liberation in knowing where it hurts.&rdquo &mdashBen Brantley The New York Times.
