Description
Based on Alison Bechdel's landmark graphic memoir, Fun Home is a Tony Award-winning musical about queer identity, family, and the courage to live authentically. As Alison comes of age and embraces her identity as a lesbian, she begins to recognize unexpected parallels between her own journey and the hidden life of her father, whose carefully constructed world conceals long-held secrets.
Widely regarded as one of the most important musicals of the 21st century, Fun Home is both a celebration of queer self-discovery and a deeply moving exploration of the cost of hiding who we are. Told through a richly layered blend of memory, music, and storytelling,it’s a heartbreaking yet life-affirming story that asks difficult questions, while meeting its characters with extraordinary compassion.
