Robert Cuccioli to Star in FUN HOME at White Plains Performing Arts Center

The White Plains Performing Arts Center (WPPAC) has announced the cast for the New York Regional Premiere of FUN HOME, playing October 12-28, 2018. Winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical, FUN HOME's story centers around graphic novelist Alison. When her father dies unexpectedly, Alison dives into her past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose temperament and secrets defined her family and her life.

Leading the cast are three Broadway veterans: Robert Cuccioli as Bruce (Jekyll & Hyde (Tony nominee), Spiderman: Turn Off The Dark), Lauren Cohn as Alison (Mamma Mia) and Rita Harvey as Helen (Fiddler on the Roof, Phantom of the Opera). They are joined by Catherine Ashmore Bradley & Serena Parrish (Small Alison), Wyatt Cirbus (Christian), Elliot Fishman (John), Jessica Mosher (Joan), Megan O'Callaghan (Medium Alison), and Ian Smith (Roy/Mark/Pete/Bobby).

"Robert [Cuccioli] was a perfect fit for the role of Bruce [Alison's father]. His breadth of experience with complex characters will allow him to truly embody the role. Add to the cast two other seasoned Broadway actors, Lauren Cohn as Alison and Rita Harvey as Helen [Alison's mother], along with the rest of this phenomenal company of professionals, and this is sure to be an exciting production" says Stephen Ferri, Executive Producer of WPPAC. "It is also a real pleasure to welcome Robert and Rita back to our stage as part of our 15th Anniversary season.
