On the surface, they are the typical suburban family. Underneath it all, they are struggling to navigate their way through life and all its troubles.
In this award-winning rock musical, audiences are given an intimate look into the lives of each family member.
Natalie’s aim is just to make it through high school unscathed, whilst her father Dan has far bigger concerns, the main one being his wife Diana’s mental health.
Winner of three Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score, and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next To Normal will have you asking yourself what “normal” actually looks like.

COVID -19 and Vaccination Information
The Court Theatre and Vaccine Certificates
Update: 19.11.2021
Under the COVID-19 Protection Framework, more commonly called the traffic light system, to be introduced soon, the Government has mandated that indoor events (such as performances) will require staff and customers to be fully vaccinated.
Once the Ministry of Health advises that Canterbury can move to the traffic light system, The Court Theatre will require visitors to have a current vaccination certificate for entry to shows, or to access food or beverage, for people 12-years-old and over. This will enable us to maximise opportunities to operate at capacity, and as safely as possible, for our audience members, staff and cast members.
We will follow Government guidelines pertaining to the use of exemption certificates.
If you are not vaccinated by the time of your booked performance, then we will follow our re-booking (for a performance after you have been fully vaccinated) or refund process.
The implementation for the COVID-19 Protection Framework is still in development. While this progresses, we want to give everyone enough time to get fully vaccinated so that, once it is implemented, we can begin to share our community life again.

We also ask for your support in keeping our theatre clean and safe and encourage you, and all of our guests and employees, to:
- Always practice good hygiene and wash your hands frequently
- Place rubbish in the bin at the conclusion of your performance
- Cover coughs/sneezes, dispose of tissues and make use of the available hand sanitiser
- Refrain from attending the theatre if you're feeling unwell to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for everyone.
