Full casting is set for the Kennedy Center's upcoming staging of the Pulitzer-winning musical Next to Normal. Original director Michael Greif will repeat his work for the previously announced D.C. production, scheduled to kick off performances at the Eisenhower Theater on January 29.
Newly announced cast members include Maia Reficco as Natalie, Khamary Grant as Gabe, Ben Levi Ross as Henry and Michael Park as Dr. Madden/Dr. Fine.
They join the previously announced Rachel Bay Jones as Diana and Brandon Victor Dixon as Dan. (Jones, Park and Ross are all veterans of another Greif-helmed musical, Dear Evan Hansen.)
Featuring a Tony-nominated book by Brian Yorkey and a Tony-winning score by Tom Kitt (music) and Yorkey (lyrics), Next to Normal takes an unflinching look at a suburban family struggling with the effects of mental illness.
Next to Normal will play a limited engagement through February 2.
