About the Show

Based on Alison Bechdel's graphic-novel memoir, this Tony Award-winning musical is about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

'Fun Home' features Alison at three different ages, revealing memories of her uniquely dysfunctional family – her mother, brothers, and volatile, brilliant, enigmatic father – that connect with her in surprising new ways. This intimate and emotional show is performed entirely in the round, giving audiences an intimate theatrical experience. Featuring Tony Award-winning songs by Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori.
