Broadway's Fun Home Tempts Audiences With Fun New Commercial

Come to the fun home in this Alison Bechdel-inspired cartoon.

Rehearsals have begun for the upcoming Broadway premiere of Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori's musical Fun Home, and now the show has a television commercial.

Inspired by Alison Bechdel's graphic novel-memoir of the same title, Fun Home follows the real-life Bechdel's journey to accept the death of her stern, closeted father, Bruce, while coming to terms with her own sexuality. The production, directed by Sam Gold, stars Michael Cerveris, Judy Kuhn, Beth Malone, Sydney Lucas, and Emily Skeggs.

Check out the acclaim that the production received last year during its Public Theater in the video below.

Fun Home begins previews at the Circle in the Square Theatre on March 27 in advance of an April 19 opening.
