The Coachella Valley Repertory will open its 2024-25 season with a production of the Pulitzer- and Tony-winning pop musical “Next to Nothing” Wednesday.
The event is set to begin at 7 p.m. Wednesday at 68510 E. Palm Canyon Drive, according to the Repertory’s website.
“Next to Normal” follows the story of a suburban family whose outward successful appearance contrasts with their struggles over grief, depression, drug abuse and more. The musical has book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt.
After an Off-Broadway debut and 2009 Broadway run, it received 11 Tony Award nominations, winning Best Original Score, Best Orchestrations and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for Alice Ripley.
Director Adam Karsten is at the helm of the Repertory’s production, with Bligh Voth and Eric Kunze starring as Diana and Dan Goodman. Stephen Hulsey serves as the music director for a cast that includes several younger performers.
