FLASH FRIDAY: Rebecca Luker, Soon Joining FUN HOME, Sings An Enchanting 'Goodnight, My Someone'

As announced earlier today by BroadwayWorld, the 2015 Tony-winning Best Musical FUN HOME will be temporarily trading in one stellar singing actor for another this spring, as Rebecca Luker joins the company as resilient mother Helen Bechdel, filling in for Tony-nominee Judy Kuhn as she takes time off for hip surgery. Luker is scheduled to appear from April 5th through May 22nd.

A veteran of eight Broadway productions, Rebecca Luker made her debut as a replacement Christine Daaé in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and, after originating the role of Lily in THE SECRET GARDEN, she took on the challenge of starring as Maria in the first Broadway revival of THE SOUND OF MUSIC.

Perhaps her most beloved performance was as Marian Paroo, the sensible librarian with romantic dreams who falls for con-man Harold Hill in the 2000 revival of Meredith Willson's THE MUSIC MAN.

Watch her recreate a bit of that performance, with this enchanting concert rendition of the first act's ballad, "Goodnight, My Someone."

Based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir, Fun Home features music by Jeanine Tesori, book and lyrics by Lisa Kron and direction by Sam Gold, whose work on this production earned them Tony Awards for Best Score, Best Book and Best Direction. Fun Home is currently playing to sold-out crowds at the Circle in the Square Theatre (235 West 50th Street).

The current cast of Fun Home includes two-time Tony Award-winner Michael Cerveris, four-time Tony Award nomineeJudy Kuhn, 2015 Tony Award nominee Beth Malone, Lauren Patten, Gabriella Pizzolo, Roberta Colindrez, Zell Steele Morrow, Joel Perez and Oscar Williams, along with Alessandra Baldacchino, Kally Duling, Presley Ryan, Perry Sherman, 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. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, 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).

The coast-to-coast North American Tour of Fun Home will begin in the 2016 - 2017 Season, and the Grammy nominated Original Broadway Cast Recording of Fun Home Original Cast Recording is now available on PS Classics,www.psclassics.com.
