DESCRIPTION:After last season&rsquo\;s highly acclaimed Spring Awakening\
 , Beck Center for the Arts partners once again with Baldwin Wallace Univ
 ersity Music Theatre program to present three-time Tony Award winner and
  Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical\, Next to Normal\, March 1 through 
 April 21\, 2013 in the intimate Studio Theater. Show times are 8 p.m. Fr
 idays and  Saturdays and 3 p.m. Sundays. There are no performances on Su
 ndays\,  March 31 or April 14. Tickets are now on sale.\nNext to Normal 
 is an emotional powerhouse of a musical  featuring a compelling pop rock
  score that shatters through the fa&ccedil\;ade  of a suburban family de
 aling with the traumatic effects of mental  illness. This intense\, emot
 ional\, yet ultimately hopeful musical makes a  direct grab for the hear
 t with a story that takes us inside the lives  of a typical American fam
 ily that is anything but typical. The New York Times said Next to Normal
  is &ldquo\;&ldquo\;A brave\, breathtaking musical&hellip\;It is somethi
 ng much more than a feel-good musical. It is a feel-everything musical.&
 rdquo\;\nDirected by Victoria Bussert\, director of the Baldwin Wallace 
 Music Theatre program\, Next to Normal stars BW alum Katie DeBoer as bip
 olar manic depressive Diana\, BW faculty member Scott Plate as Dan\, Dia
 na's steadfast husband\, and Phil Carroll as her rock star psychiatrist\
 ; as well as an ensemble of nine talented  actors from BW's nationally r
 ecognized MT program. Carroll and Plate  appear courtesy of the Actors' 
 Equity Association. With musical  direction by Nancy Maier and choreogra
 phy by David Zody\, Next to Normal features music by Tom Kitt and book a
 nd lyrics by Brian Yorkey (2009 Tony Award for Best Score).\n&ldquo\;Not
  only is Next to Normal a powerful\, startling\,  ground-breaking work i
 n the American musical theater repertoire\,&rdquo\;  remarked Bussert &l
 dquo\;it is an experience that compels all of us to really  look\, liste
 n and feel. At times it is astonishing\, at other times  agonizing -- bu
 t ultimately it honors the beauty and ferocity of the  human spirit -- n
 o matter the flaws.&rdquo\;&nbsp\;Next to Normal contains strong adult l
 anguage and themes and may not be suitable for audiences 17 years and un
 der.\nTickets are $28 for adults and $25 for seniors (65 and older) with
