The Cardinal Stage summer musical is Fun Home, winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, with the cast album also nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album.

Fun Home is a coming-of-age story as Alison Bechdel reflects on her father, a brilliant but troubled man whose secrets defined her family. Piecing together the moments that shaped her life, Alison re-examines her unique childhood at the Bechdel Funeral Home and her year of self-discovery when she left for college. Fun Home is a moving and refreshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.

“A rare beauty, extraordinary and heart-gripping.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
