Fun Home

Alison is 9, begging her father to play with her. She is 19, overcome by the aching and joyous pain of first love. She is 43,  an out lesbian  hunting for  the truth  of her  brilliant, volatile, and closeted father’s  life and death. She is all three at once,  trying to untangle the central  mystery  of her childhood: How did she survive their shared hometown, when her father could not? 

With a score that ranges from exuberant 70s pop to aching melodies and dissonant harmonies of characters longing to be known,  Fun Home  is the Tony Award-winning  story of a  daughter and father, of coming out and coming to terms with a life shaped by a family’s secrets.
