Broadway Company of FUN HOME Assembles for Updated Cast Album

The Bechdels have officially arrived on Broadway - and an updated cast recording appears to be on the way.

FUN HOME star Michael Cerveris announced on Facebook today that the company has assembled at Avatar Studios to record a second album for the hit Jeanine Tesori-Lisa Kron musical, now playing at the Circle in the Square Theatre. FUN HOME previously received a cast recording last year, when it played to great acclaim at The Public Theater.

Most of the Off-Broadway cast made the transfer, with the exception of Alexandra Socha, who departed part way through the initial run. Socha, replaced by Emily Skeggs, was featured on FUN HOME's first recording as 'Medium Alison.'

Per press notes, "Fun Home is the groundbreaking new Broadway musical based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir. 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. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes."

The cast of Fun Home includes Tony Award-winner Cerveris, three-time Tony Award nominee Judy Kuhn, Beth Malone, Obie Award-winner Sydney Lucas, Emily Skeggs, Roberta Colindrez, Zell Steele Morrow, Joel Perez, Oscar Williams, Lauren Patten, Gabriella Pizzolo, Marrick Smith, Jim Stanek, and Nicole Van Giesen.

Fun Home opened to rave reviews at The Public Theater in October 2013, and was quickly extended four times due to popular demand. It was named Best Musical by the New York Drama Critics Circle, and received the OBIE, Lucille Lortel, Outer Critics Circle and Off Broadway Alliance Awards in the 2013-2014 season.
