Fun Home is a Tony Award-winning musical based on Alison Bechdel's 2006 graphic memoir of the same name.
The musical features music by Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by Lisa Kron. It tells the story of Bechdel's discovery of her own lesbian sexuality, her relationship with her closeted gay father, and her attempts to unlock the mysteries surrounding his life. The story is told in a series of non-linear vignettes connected by narration provided by the adult Alison character.
Fun Home premiered Off-Broadway at The Public Theater in 2013. After a critically acclaimed run, it transferred to Broadway in 2015, where it won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. The musical has also been produced all over the world, and has been praised for its groundbreaking portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters and its honest exploration of family relationships.
