A review by lillygm
Next to Normal by Tom Kitt, Brian Yorkey

5.0

Saw the show several years ago, but it felt like time for a reread. Sometimes the lyrics are simplistic, but that lends itself well to the show, as its topics are often so difficult to describe. Recommended for anyone who has dealt with mental illness or an unconventional family life.

"I am the one who held you / I am the one who cried / I am the one who watched while you died"

Gets me every time.
