is a musical that dives headfirst into the rollercoaster of mental health, blending rock tunes and heartfelt tales that might just tug at your heartstrings or make you laugh inappropriately. This show, which snagged three Tony Awards (not that we're keeping score), explores how mental illness impacts a family and all the delightful chaos that comes with it—think grief and love wrapped up in an emotional rock concert.

At the centre of this whirlwind is Diana Goodman, a fab mum battling bipolar disorder. Sure, that might sound like the setup for a sitcom, but trust us, it's not all laughs. Her struggles create a domino effect on her husband, Dan, and their two kids, leading to some serious family drama while they navigate their lives and relationships. Cue the emotional rock ballads as they try to figure out who they are amidst the turmoil. If you like a show that mixes a good dose of reality with catchy music, you might want to catch this one.
