We're delighted to announce that this fall, two newer musicals from the MTI catalog will receive international premieres. NEXT TO NORMAL opens October 11th in Furth, Bavaria and marks the show's first German language production. The October 24th Austrian opening of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is the first overseas production of this high-flying tuner. We couldn't be more happy that both of these shows will now entertain European audiences with their dazzling and impactful productions.

Pulitzer-Prize winning rock musical NEXT TO NORMAL, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness.
NEXT TO NORMAL tells the story of a mother, Diane Goodman, who struggles with bipolar disorder and the effect that her illness has on her family. This contemporary musical is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life. With provocative lyrics and a thrilling score, this musical shows how far two parents will go to keep themselves sane and their family’s world intact.
