Fun Home - 2015 Broadway History , Info & More


Circle in the Square (Broadway)
1633 Broadway at 50th St. New York, NY

Based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir of the same name, Fun Home, the 2015 Tony Award-winning Best Musical, features music by Jeanine Tesori, book and lyrics by Lisa Kron, and direction by Sam Gold, all of whom won 2015 Tony Awards for their work on this production. Fun Home began previews March 27, 2015 and opened to rave reviews at the Circle in the Square Theatre (235 West 50th Street) on Sunday, April 19, 2015.

Featuring a cast led by 2015 Tony Award-winner Michael Cerveris, as well as 2015 Tony Award nominees Judy Kuhn, Beth Malone, Sydney Lucas and Emily Skeggs, Fun Home also features Roberta Colindrez, Zell Steele Morrow, Joel Perez, Oscar Williams, Lauren Patten, Gabriella Pizzolo, Marrick Smith, Jim Stanek, and Nicole Van Giesen.

Fun Home introduces us to Alison at three different ages, revealing memories of her uniquely dysfunctional family- her mother, brothers and volatile, brilliant, enigmatic father- that connect with her in surprising new ways. This intimate and emotional theatrical experience is performed entirely in the round, bringing audiences closer to Alison's story than ever before. Hailed as "the best musical of the season" by both The New York Times and New York Magazine, Fun Home "demonstrates how much our world has changed and reflects just how far we've come" (The Wall Street Journal). Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

Fun Home was also nominated for 2015 Tony Awards for Best Scenic Design of Musical (David Zinn), Best Lighting Design of a Musical (Ben Stanton) and Best Orchestrations (John Clancy). The creative team also includes Danny Mefford (Choreography), Kai Harada (Sound Design), and Chris Fenwick (Music Direction).

2015 Tony Nominees React - Judy Kuhn - 'Seth Rudetsky Called'
by Robert Diamond - April 28, 2015


It was very funny because there was flood of texts and phone calls this morning. The first one was from my old friend Seth Rudetsky. I guess he was there in the room and he congratulated me and then second later my husband called, who was watching the live stream from his office. Its so funny because Its so unlike him to do that, but I guess he was nervous for me! I can't be more thrilled, not just for me, but because so many of my collegues we acknowledged. It is really special . We love this show a lot. We are all so committed and to have it get the embraced by the audiences AND the theatre community is just fantastic. It's just been incredible already.
