Next to Normal

A Dramaturgical Presentation

From humble beginnings...

From humble beginnings...

Feeling Electric began as a 10 minute musical
submission for the BMI Lehman Engel Musical
Theatre Workshop in 1998. Yorkey pitched the
idea to Kitt and they collaborated.
The idea was scrapped until 2002 when the full
length premiered at the Village Theatre in
Washington.
In 2005, the Village picked it up again which led to
a performance at NYMF. It was at NYMF that
producer David Stone picked up the project.

Second Stage workshopped the show twice, once

in 2006, once in 2007.
It ocially hit O-Broadway on January 16, 2008.
Next to Normal went back to a regional setting at
the Arena Stage from November 21, 2008 to
January 18, 2009.

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power

and love and self-control.- 2 Timothy 1:7
Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I
am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.Isaiah 41:10
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles. The
Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the
crushed in spirit. Many are the aictions of the
righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them
all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is
broken.- Psalm 34:17-20
