San Francisco Bay Area Theater Reviews

“Fun Home”

October 9, 2018 by Eddie Reynolds Leave a Comment

Fun Home
Jeanine Tesori (Music); Lisa Kron (Book & Lyrics)
Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel
TheatreWorks Silicon Valley
The Cast of Fun Home

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley, under the empathic direction of Artistic Director Robert Kelley, presents a Fun Home whose rooms are full of a family’s sweet memories, troubling secrets, and – in its hidden corners — liberating lessons for us all. The well-directed, well-executed production is a destination to be visited in person and then repeatedly re-visited in follow-up contemplation.

For my full review, please continue to Talkin’ Broadway:  https://www.talkinbroadway.com/page/regional/sanjose/sj139.html.

Rating: 5 E
