Scoop Info

We are so excited to welcome back Vermont's own Tommy Bergeron (last seen at LNT in 2019's Cabaret) as Gabe!
We're also psyched to welcome back Nick Wheeler to LNT (Baker Into The Woods, Cop in Urinetown, last seen in 2024's The Tempest) to play the psychiatrists.
Plus showcase more of Kathleen Keenan's singing (most recently seen as the chaperone in The Drowsy Chaperone, also Didi in Prom, Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd, and Patsy Cline in Always Patsy Cline) as Diana.

And we're thrilled to welcome three accomplished actor-singers making thier LNT debut in Next To Normal:
Nick Rubano to play Henry; Natalie Steel to play Natalie, and Jake Thomason to play Dan.

And after many, many years of trying we finally get to collaborate with noted scenic designer Jeffrey Modereger!!
