Fun Home: The Musical

When her father dies unexpectedly, graphic novelist Alison dives deep into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family’s Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father’s hidden desires. Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

Fun Home premiered at The Public Theater in New York City on October 22, 2013, under the direction of Sam Gold. The show premiered on Broadway at Circle in the Square Theatre on April 19, 2015. Directed by Gold, the Broadway production featured Michael Cerveris, Judy Kuhn, Sydney Lucas, Beth Malone, and Emily Skeggs.
