The Gallery Players are proud to present the REGIONAL PREMIERE of...FUN HOME
a refreshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through grown up eyes. Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Original Score, and hailed as one of the most ground-breaking productions ever to hit Broadway.
We meet Alison at 3 points in her life...
as a child in the 1970s...
as a college student finding first love…
as an adult trying to make sense of her superficially picture perfect, but uniquely dysfunctional family...
Looking back on her complex relationship with her father, Alison is forced to confront long-hidden family secrets. She dives deep into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her childhood – and finds that they had more in common than she ever knew.
★★★★★ “Fun Home is a beautiful, sensitive, insightful, innovative and heartbreaking musical, addressing themes including sexual identity, family, memory, truth and lies” – Limelight
★★★★★ “It reaches a level of emotional honesty that other musicals just don’t begin to touch” – What’s On Stage
★★★★ “Wondrous… Tesori and Kron’s light touch lets the work soar to sky limits. It shifts remarkably between light and shade, sweet and aching moments, haunting dissonance and perfect harmony.” – The Guardian
★★★★★ “A groundbreaking masterpiece” – The Independent.
Age recommendation: 12+
Please be advised that Fun Home contains references to suicide, mental health, strong language and themes of an adult nature.
