Synopsis

Hailed as one of Broadway’s most original musicals and the winner of 5 Tony Awards, Fun Home is a groundbreaking story inspired by Alison Bechdel’s best-selling graphic memoir. In this intimate musical, Alison sets out to unravel the many mysteries of her childhood through a series of memories and conversations – from her coming out to her moving journey to acceptance. Gary Griffin (Hand to God, Never the Sinner) directs this emotionally charged family drama that The New York Times calls “extraordinary,” and “a rare beauty.”

“An Intimate, Emotional Powerhouse…That Rivals (If Not Bests) the Original Broadway Production.”
– Broadway World Chicago

“Sizzling. Highly Recommended. Altogether-brilliant.”
– Chicago Sun-Times

The characters are real, played with authenticity, complemented by strong voices (even the youngest actors) that fill the house with emotion and power.
