Fun Home extends run by two weeks


The Public Theater have extended their world premiere production of Jeanine Tesori's and Lisa Kron's musical Fun Home by two weeks. The show will now play through to 17 Nov 2013.

Fun Home began previews at the Newman Stage on 30 Sep 2013, where it will open on 22 Oct 2013. The show was originally scheduled to close on 03 Nov 2013.

Fun Home, with music by Jeanine Tesori, book and lyrics by Lisa Kron, based on Alison Bechdel's graphic novel, tells the story of graphic novelist Alison who, following the unexpected death of her father, dives deep 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. Moving between past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood playing at the family's Bechdel Funeral Home, her growing understanding of her own sexuality and the looming, unanswerable questions about her father's hidden desires.

Directed by Sam Gold and choreographed by Josh Rhodes, Fun Home features Griffin Birney (John Bechdel), Michael Cerveris (Bruce Bechdel), Roberta Colindrez (Joan), Noah Hinsdale (Christian Bechdel), Judy Kuhn (Helen), Sydney Lucas (Small Alison), Beth Malone (Alison), Joel Perez (Roy) and Alexandra Socha (Medium Alison).

Griffin Birney, Roberta Colindrez, Judy Kuhn, Sydney Lucas, Beth Malone, Joel Perez and Alexandra Socha are reprising their roles from an earlier Public Lab (not fully staged) production of Fun Home, which played at the Public's Shiva Theatre from 17 Oct - 04 Nov 2012, also directed by Sam Gold.
