Porchlight Music Theatre 12:00 AM
During its original Broadway run in 2015, Fun Home won seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Leading Actor in a Musical. Now, the award-winning musical has moved on from New York and is playing in Chicago during Chicago Theatre Week. Fun Home was based off of the graphic novel memoir of the same name written by Alison Bechdel. Both the novel and musical follow Bechdel as the writer comes of age: Bechdel’s experience of coming out as a lesbian and her relationship with her father, who was a closeted gay man.
