Charlie Alterman - Next To Normal - Soundtracks - CD

I bought the cast recording when Next to Normal was doing preview performances on Broadway. I was INSTANTLY in love. Next to Normal is the powerful, emotional, and uplifting story of one family's struggle to deal with the past and look forward to the future. The primary focus rests on the mother and her battle with the mental illness that threatens to destroy her and the rest of her family. This musical is an obsession for me. I listen to it every single day now. I was fortunate enough to see the production on Broadway this past summer, and I was blown away. There's a definite reason this show won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. EVERYONE should hear this musical.
