FUN HOME is the ground-breaking musical based on a graphic memoir by Vermont’s own Alison Bechdel. The winner of the 2015 Tony Award for best musical, it’s a funny and emotional tale of a young woman’s coming of age, in counterpoint to the unraveling of her tormented, closeted father. This is the 14th collaboration between THT and the Middlebury College Department of Music—an immensely popular series that tends to sell out the entire run in a matter of days. Once again, Doug Anderson directs a cast of talented students. Ronnie Romano conducts the amazing student orchestra. Carol Christensen serves as music director.
The American musical has touched on gay themes before (La Cage aux Folles, Falsettos) but Fun Home is in a class by itself — a frank, funny, compelling look at the American family in the grip of social change.
