I'm going to next Saturday's matinee.  I'm surprised there were still tickets available because there are only a few premiums left for the last performance. I'm sitting in the 100 section this time. My first time was in the 200 odd section closer to the 400 section.  Can't wait to see it from a different view.

Now are Emily Skeggs and Judy Kuhn definitely in the show now? I went back in February and didn't realize Emily was taking a hiatus for a new project and Judy was out, but I also heard she had been out for awhile too at some point after that. I' m just curious.  Seeing other actors is not a big deal for me.

How important is it to see Fun Home on Broadway as opposed to in touring productions? I'm asking because I'm going to be up there this weekend and only have 5 slots for shows, and was originally writing off shows that will be touring in MD or DC in the 2016/2017 season since I can just see the tour version later so I can overally increase my total amount of shows seen, and have more slots open on Broadway for shows that I will be less likely to see in the future outside of Broadway.

However, the Circle in the Square sounds like a unique theater to the point that it sounds like watching Fun Home anywhere else wouldn't be the same? I'm also not sure how much of the enjoyment is coming from the story/production vs. the Cast, as I'm also hearing really good things about Cerveris and the others. Do you think the difference in seeing this first on tour would be noticeable enough to consider making sure I see this on Broadway and make an exception for Fun Home?

I've seen Fun Home in three incarnations, and two of those were in proscenium staging. The show worked best in the intimate thrust of Circle in the Square, but certainly is still a worthwhile piece of theatre regardless.

I would say see it at Circle, simply because there are beautiful moments that will be lost when it goes back to its proscenium configuration or in a larger house.

Whilst I think the show would be effective and moving in any venue with any cast, I can't imagine this version ever being bettered and would recommend seeing it on Broadway whilst you can. Cerveris is indeed giving one of the best performances on Broadway right now.

For the cast alone, I'd see it on Broadway. For the uniqueness of the theater, even more reason.

That said, I saw it twice off-Broadway and also got swept away, so the material will work beautifully on tour. But this is its best version right now.
