NEWSROOM POST:  LAMBERTVILLE, NJ

Starting with the production of FUN HOME is the return offering of American Sign Language-interpreted and sensory-friendly performances on specified dates.

(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) – Running through March 10th, Music Mountain Theatre (MMT) presents FUN HOME, a new mainstage production for a three-weekend run and is MMT’s 3rd production this 2024 season.  Fun Home, is a musical based on the autobiographical graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, with the book with lyrics by Lisa Iron and music by Jeannie Tesori.

 

When her father dies unexpectedly, Alison 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 the past and present, Alison relives her unique childhood 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.

With a score that ranges from exuberant 70’s pop to aching melodies and dissonant harmonies of characters longing to be known, Fun Home is the Tony Award-winning story of a daughter and father, of coming out, and coming to terms with a life shaped by a family’s secrets. An unforgettable and groundbreaking musical, Fun Home explores the haunting pull of memory and its power to shape our identity.

The winner of five Tony Awards in 2015, including Best Musical, Book, and Score, Fun Home contains strong adult language, conversations/depictions of suicide, and mild adult themes.

Fun Home will run on the MMT stage from February 23rd–March 10th, with 8:00 pm evening performances on Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 pm matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays.
