Civil rights hero and activist, Edie Windsor, came to see Fun Home for her third time, and the Fun Home social media team was on hand to capture what she had to say. BroadwayWorld brings you the video in which Windsor explains what Fun Home is about and how she heard about the show for the first time.

"I saw the show twice when I was downtown. The first time I had just read the book, learned about the musical and hurried to see it!" Windsor exclaims.

Fun Home, the highly-anticipated, Award-winning American musical, is currently in previews at the Circle in the Square Theatre (235 West 50th Street). With music by four-time Tony Award nominee Jeanine Tesori, a book and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Lisa Kron and direction by Drama Desk nominee Sam Gold, Fun Home officially opens on Broadway on Sunday, April 19th. Below, check out a first look at the cast in action!

Pronounced "a beautiful, heartbreaker of a musical" by the New York Times, 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.
