REGIONAL PREMIERE! Mainstage
Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron | Music by Jeanine Tesori | Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel

March 29, 2018 – April 22, 2018

Winner of multiple 2015 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score, Best Book of a Musical, and winner of a New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, Obie Award, Lucille Lortel Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, and Off-Broadway Alliance Award.

Fun Home is an original, refreshingly honest musical punctuated with an innovative score that frames the curiosity of childhood and the complexities of family. Alison’s father was many things: a historical preservationist, a funeral home director, a distant parent, and a closeted gay man. In the struggle to understand her father, while also dealing with her own budding sexuality, Alison reveals memories of her life at three different ages. This Tony Award–winning musical, based on the groundbreaking, best-selling graphic memoir, will take audiences on a heartrending and fiercely funny journey.

“A rare beauty, extraordinary and heart-gripping.” –Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“The best musical of the season.” –New York Magazine
“Few shows are as moving, relatable, and funny.” –Associated Press
“The Best Broadway Musical in years, with the finest score in a decade.” –Huffington Post

Recommended for ages 14+ due to adult subject matter dealing with sexuality.
