He says mental health is health. 'Why this musical is so important is because we are talking about it. We are quite literally putting it on stage in a way that up until this point, hadn't been done before. So, to see it on stage is just one huge, monumental step in normalizing this thing that is something that none of us are impervious to,' said Kane.
