Play Reviews


"THE BEST NEW MUSICAL... This impeccably shaded portrait of a girl and her father tries to solve the classic mystery: Who are these strange people who made me? I can’t think of a recent musical — or play, for that matter — that has done a better job at finding theatrical expression for the wayward dynamics of remembering. Heart-gripping and cathartic, FUN HOME occupies the place where we all grew up, and will never be able to leave. WE’RE HOME." - The New York Times
"An emotional powerhouse that never lets you out of its embrace for a moment." - Chicago Tribune
"An uplifting musical drama of rare intensity, honesty and beauty, told through melodically rich songs that summon yearning, heartache and joy. It speaks universally about big things that matter: life, love, family, surviving. It’s unconventional, to be sure, and musical theatre is better for it." – Daily News
