EVERY FAMILY HAS A STORY TO TELL.

★★★★ ‘A milestone in musical theatre’ Sunday Express

Gallery Players are proud to present the REGIONAL PREMIERE of

FUN HOME

  • winner of five Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Original
    Score
  • hailed as one of the most ground-breaking productions ever to hit
    Broadway.

Fun Home, a refreshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through grown up eyes.
Meet Alison at three stages of her life:

as a child in the 1970s…… as a college student finding first love….
….. as an adult trying to make sense of her superficially picture perfect, but uniquely dysfunctional family.

Looking back on her complex relationship with her father, Alison is
forced to confront long-hidden family secrets. She dives deep into her
past to tell the story of the volatile, brilliant, one-of-a-kind man whose
temperament and secrets defined her childhood – and finds that they had more in common than she ever knew.

★★★★★ “Fun Home is a beautiful, sensitive, insightful, innovative and
heartbreaking musical, addressing themes including sexual identity,
family, memory, truth and lies
” – Limelight


★★★★★ “It reaches a level of emotional honesty that other musicals
just don’t begin to touch”
 – What’s On Stage


★★★★ “Wondrous… Tesori and Kron’s light touch lets the work soar to
sky limits. It shifts remarkably between light and shade, sweet and
aching moments, haunting dissonance and perfect harmony.”
– The
Guardian

★★★★★ “A groundbreaking masterpiece” – The Independent.
