Photo Flash: Ready for That Drive? First Look at Kate Shindle and More in FUN HOME on Tour

The first National Tour of FUN HOME, the groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning Best Musical, just launched in Cleveland, OH at Playhouse Square and will then travel North America playing multi-week and week-long engagements. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the touring cast in action below!

Robert Petkoff (Broadway's Ragtime, All The Way, Anything Goes) will play Bruce, Susan Moniz(Broadway's Grease, Chicago's Marriott Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare Theater) will play Helen and Kate Shindle (Broadway's Legally Blonde, Cabaret, and Miss America 1998) will play Alison. Joining them will be Abby Corrigan as Medium Alison, Alessandra Baldacchino (Broadway's Fun Home) as Small Alison, Karen Eilbacher as Joan, Robert Hager as Roy, Lennon Nate Hammond as John, Pierson Salavdor as Christian, Anthony Fortino, Amanda Naughton, Sofia Trimarchi and Michael Winther. At certain performances, Carly Gold will play the role of Small Alison.

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. With this win, Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori also made history by becoming the first female writing team to be awarded the Best Score Tony Award.

Based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir, FUN HOME introduces us to Alison at three different ages as she explores and unravels the many mysteries of her childhood 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.
