About the musical
almost normalwritten by Brian Yorkey and with music by Tom Kitt (Next to Normal), tells the story of a family that struggles to be normal, while, as in almost all families, adversity appears. The play goes through a wave of emotions that shakes the audience with its force, amuses it with its humor and leaves it renewed and moved by the similarities of what it finds on stage and even what happens inside its own life. Perfect does not exist and being almost normal is normal.
almost normal It is a mirror of an increasingly frequent drama: the impact that mental illness generates on the family, so talking about it becomes, every day, a more pressing need. Putting a magnifying glass on this reality and doing so through theater is putting ourselves in a position to overcome the stigma created around this topic. It is not at all strange that in the midst of the demands of today’s world, which exposes us to permanent tension, a psychic imbalance appears, taking into account that we are contradictory and sensitive beings. The reality is that we live trying to be almost normal, so why does it cost us so much to talk about what happens to us? Rossana Hernndez reflected.
This famous piece, which made more than 8,000 people in Venezuela laugh and cry, has the musical direction of the Venezuelan musician and arranger Luis Serra, who directs a live band of seven musicians: Jhosmarni Martínez, Daniel García, Efran González, Yadiel Arias, Pablo Greda, Aquiles Hernndez and Ana Elba Domnguez, who perform the 40 songs that accompany and complement each dialogue, each scene and each character.
“With a new highly mobile, dynamic and adaptable montage, the creation of Marianery Amén, the bipolar Broadway musical will once again delight the Venezuelan audience at the Chacao Cultural Center from May 9 to 26,” the production said in a statement. .
