@South Florida, loved that video - thanks for sharing! Praying that I will be able to see the production this summer!
Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.

A few posts back someone wondered why the logo looked like a house, when "Fun Home" is about a funeral home. While it is true that many funeral homes look like houses, in this case, the funeral home is also the Bechdel family home. (Like the TV show Six Feet Under)

Just bought two tickets to this for late May. Didn't get to see it at the Public, but I've heard the cast recording a few times and think the music is beautiful. Really looking forward to seeing it.

For those on Spotify, I noticed it was recently added.
I haven't listened to it all yet, but I did see it at the Public. Though a fine show, I'm sure the cast, crew and producers are praying Hamilton doesn't transfer. I think the show really needs to Tony to have legs.

AE, if you can't be moved by this musical you have a heart problem. If you're offended by a young girl realizing she likes girls then your brain damaged. Either way still enjoy your posts.

There is definite conjecture going on that Bruce killed himself. I gave the book away but if someone can answer for me I'd appreciate it. He backed into the truck? Right? That seems odd. Also, we know Bruce is being divorced and the new house is a fistful, the song at the end that sounds like a letter, I don't remember that from the book. After reading the book, I thought it was more likely Bruce didn't kill himself.

It is inconclusive. No proof either way. Alison BELIEVES that he killed himself. Since this is her story, she tells it this way.
I believe the word of the truck driver is that he jumped back on the road, as if maybe scared by a snake.
New house? The only house I'm aware they ever talk about (beside the Funeral Home) is the same one that he has been fixing up forever.

At the very end of Fun Home, Bruce has taken on another house to restore. That's what he sings about in his final song.

Thanks, Mac -- Obviously I didn't realize that! Just so I can feel like a total dolt, is that evident in the book? I don't remember it at all.

SLIGHT SPOILERS*******
You mean about the "new" house Bruce is restoring? I can't remember if it's in the book or not, but it's definitely in the musical. The parallel is that his life is coming apart at the seams, just like the broken-down house. Both seem beyond repair at that point.

Just bought my tickets for April. :) So excited to see LEGEND JUDY KUHN on stage for the first time ever.
Can't believe I'm going to get to see my favorite Broadway divas -- Judy Kuhn and Kelli O'Hara -- within a month of each other. I love Broadway!!

Short video clip is now up with Sam Gold explaining the new in the round staging.
Near the end he reveals some information that is a slight spoiler for one aspect of the production's staging. Since we don't actually get to see it, it didn't bother me, but if you want to go in completely unaware I'd stop it around the 4 minute mark or so.

Hmmm. VERY intriguing approach from The Pub's.
Any idea what "center" would be? It looks like the press is on one of the sides...

In another thread, it was suggested that the 100s were the best, followed very closely by the 200s & 300s. Told to avoid the 400s

It appears from the linked video that the orchestra is in front of the 400s. At the very least it seems like there will be extra distance between the 400s and the cast.
#347
Posted: 3/23/15 at 6:52pm
Yes, that was mentioned as well as a reason to avoid the 400s.

Yeah, I'd figured as much. I just can't tell if that set-up (in the video) was accurate (re: the way the show is to be presented), with the couch up against the "side". Hmmm.
