WINNER! BEST MUSICAL 2015 TONY AWARDS
"A beautiful heartbreaker of a musical" "Achingly beautiful"
When Alison Bechdel’s father dies unexpectedly, she dives into her past to unravel the story of the brilliant, volatile man whose secrets shaped her family — and her future. Moving between childhood memories and adult revelations, Alison relives her unique upbringing in the family’s funeral home ("Fun Home"), her coming-out journey in college, and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father's hidden life. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
With haunting music, sharp humor, and impactful moments, Fun Home is an honest, poignant, and refreshingly original musical about how we see our parents once we finally see ourselves.

"Fun Home isn’t just a coming out story or a coming-of-age story. Its undercurrent is of grown-up secrets, intuited by children, that exists to some degree in every family. Fun Home finds a shining clarity that lights up the night."
