After exclusively announcing last November, that Next To Normal, the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning musical, would be making its Sydney Premiere, AussieTheatre can now confirm the star-studded cast.

Today Director Tyran Parke announced the cast for their strictly limited Sydney season:

Cast:

  • Dan – Ian Stenlake (Sea Patrol)

  • Diana – Michelle Doake (The Hatpin)

  • Dr. Fine/Dr. Madden – Bobby Fox (Jersey Boys)

  • Henry – Dash Kruk

  • Natalie – Erica Lovell (A Little Night Music)

Joining Parke, the creative team will include Kelley Abbey as Associate Director/Musical Staging and Peter Rutherford as Musical Director.

Next to Normal is compelling the story of a mother’s trauma induced depression, anxiety and delusion. It took Tom Kitt (Music) and Brian Yorkey (book and lyrics) almost a decade to create this work with extensive research, workshops, and rewrites.

  • OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN musical did not had a good start with mixed reviews, because of mixed reviews it will not go to Melbourne, next LEGALLY BLOND, another coup for Sydney, will NOT last long as OFFICER………..,.next CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG, another COUP for Sydney another NOT long lasting musical and the NSW government paid for all that, what a waste of taxpayers money. Sydney would like to think, that it is THE entertainment capital of Australia, but failed.
