I live near Chicago as well, but I saw Fun Home on Broadway and I definetely recommend seeing in NYC. With the Circle in the Square, it's much more intimate, and it gives off a much better vibe and feeling than if it's in a larger theater. Even thought it isn't the OBC anymore, I saw it when Gabby was the only new cast member and it was marvelous, I can't imagine much has changed with just Judy leaving.
