About FUN HOME
The 2015 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, Fun Home is one of the most groundbreaking musicals to emerge in years. Based on Alison Bechdel’s best-selling and moving graphic memoir, it is a refreshingly honest story about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes. With a central character played simultaneously by three different actresses at different ages, Fun Home is a blazingly original heartbreaker and a nonstop treasure of invention that challenges audience expectations.
This production contains adult themes and language.
Fun Home is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
