Knight Theater: Next to Normal 7/12-7/17 Knight Theater
NEXT TO NORMAL
Tuesday July 12, 2011 thru Sunday July 17, 2011
From the director of RENT comes the most talked about new show on Broadway, NEXT TO NORMAL, winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and three 2009 Tony Awards® including Best Score. This highly-anticipated musical will arrive in Charlotte featuring Alice Ripley, its acclaimed Tony Award®-winning star.
Chosen as “one of the year’s 10 best” by major critics, NEXT TO NORMAL is an emotional powerhouse of a musical with a thrilling contemporary score about a family trying to take care of themselves and each other. The New York Times calls NEXT TO NORMAL “a brave, breathtaking work of muscular grace and power. It is much more than a feel-good musical; it is a feel-everything musical. It is great, in ways that few Broadway musicals are.” And Rolling Stone raves, “It is the best musical of the season – by a mile. It’ll pin you to your seat.”
Be among the first in Charlotte to experience a performance in the sparkling new KNIGHT THEATER. The theater joins the Mint Museum, Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, and the Afro-American Cultural Center in a new cultural district on South Tryon Street that will add a whole new dimension to the Uptown art scene.
