I'm sure the one up there now is not captioned since it was streamed live. And if you pay for it now you can have access to it for a few more days (I think) until they take it down to do the editing. Then when it's put up again you can have access to it anytime with a subscription to Broadway HD"Thank you. I hope Broadway HD F...

I don't have membership to Broadway HD so I have a couple of questions:1) Was the show captioned or subtitled?2) Is it a one time or is it on repeat?Thanks.

One more thing I just learned. Did Lin Manual delayed Hamilton so that Fun Home could be in the running for the Tony? If so, kudos. That was a brilliant move.

Auggie27 said: "Lisa Kron's explanation for the universality is grounded in a fairly obvious but critical idea about the theater: most stories we find ourselves drawn to don't really portray us. We aren't cowboys in Oklahoma, a matchmaker in New York, a band salesman, or a family escaping pogroms. We aren't Argentine dictators or singing animals, a murderer or a cannibal pie baker. We find our humanity in people entirely unlike ourselves in theatrical storytelling. We don't go looking for mir...

Lauren Patten tweeted last night:Lauren Patten @PattenLauren...my final day at #funhome will be June 19. There are not enough words for my gratitude

Rochester NY - meh is correct.

There are only 2 open caption performances and both are sold out. I've contacted Chicago Hamilton and they gave me 2 open caption dates, one in middle of week and one on Thanksgiving weekend. Not just impossible to have tickets but impossible for deaf people to enjoy as well.

I don't think they would produce a show with the word "Normal" in the title. It has a different meaning for deaf people. Such as "why can't you talk like normal people"? I speak from experience. "

She raises a good point.This year I saw two Broadway shows - Fun Home (Not deaf-friendly) and Spring Awakening (okay, I moved mountains to get there).How many Broadway shows have I seen in my life? Two.That's money going into Broadway's pocket. That's tourist dollars being dropped in NYC.Multiply by number of deaf people and their hearing friends and family members. And calculate the cost of accessibility. I'll bet you that it doesn't take that many tickets to cover the cost of accessibility....

How did you know?

Didn't realize it was two different concerts. I'm sure I'm not going to be only one who is confused. Update: "This version of Lucy Simon and Marsha Norman's Tony-winning tuner is unrelated to Manhattan Concert Productions' upcoming staging of The Secret Garden, which stars Tony nominee Sydney Lucas (Fun Home)" http://www.theatermania.com/new-york-city-theater/news/rebecca-luker-secret-garden-concert_74551.html?cid=homepage_news

I can hear with a Cochlear Implant. I've listened to SA, Fun Home, Hamilton, and Matilda. Matilda didn't do it for me either. Too fast. Not crazy about Rap but Hamilton is a bit more pleasing to listen to. Some rock bands I like, some I can't stand. Same thing. The SA music really didn't do for me. I'm not writing off SA. I'll see if it's worth the long trip to see the show.

wonderfulwizard11 said: "People can afford the seats, but those that can don't want to buy them for this show. It was never a really popular show beyond a younger crowd, and on top of that it's not an easy thing to sell the concept of a musical with deaf actors to a wide audience. The ticket prices aren't an issue here- it's just a hard sell and while it's a shame to see a worthwhile show struggle, it shouldn't come as a surprise. "When I first heard about it, I was very excited, since I'm de...

I want to thank you all for your insights on Sidney's departure. I think all of you are spot on. I want to add one more insight (I'm a Broadway newbie): Is it very possible that as time goes by, the grosses decline? If so, then could it be a factor in how current and future actors are being paid?FWIW, I would definitely see Fun Home again with different actors.

I was planning to be in town Nov 21 and I checked the Telecharge website a couple of months back and it was almost "sold out". Today, I checked the website again and there's a lot of seats available now. I'm wondering if interest for the show is waning?

I checked the TDF website and I couldn't find anything about long distance category for membership. Do you have a direct link? Many thanks.

I just checked TDF website (I'm not a member) and it said "TDF MEMBER TICKETS:NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS SHOW"How did get it? Thanks.
