Fun Home: A Musical

Fun Home is a musical theatre adaptation of Alison Bechdel’s 2006 graphic memoir of the same name, with music by Jeanine Tesori, and book and lyrics by Lisa Kron. The story concerns Bechdel’s discovery of her own sexuality, her relationship with her closeted gay father, and her attempts to unlock the mysteries surrounding his life. It is the first Broadway musical with a lesbian protagonist.[1] It is told in a series of non-linear vignettes connected by narration provided by the adult Alison character.
