Is anyone else disappointed that Fun Home's not on there? I thought she had added it to her concert setlist.

Not disappointed.  This was from a live show Lea did in 54 below (?) prior to Nov '16 that was recorded.  She didn't do Fun Home until Nov. Maybe she has added that to this's year's set list

Yes, this set list is from her 54 Below shows last year. She made no mention of Fun Home at all.

Ahh, that makes sense. She's doing a North America tour in April and the poster for Madison WI appearance (where I live) implied that Fun Home is going to be a part of her set list. They've since changed that poster to just have a cute headshot of her's instead. Per this Playbill article, upcoming tour is an "encore" of her April 2016 54 Below show. I don't know if she'll change the set list or not.

Anyone going to the 1st April showing in The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, Brookville? They'll probably be the first ones to know.

Why would she make such an unfortunate, rapey, bad song her title track? Does she do something really subversive with it, or...?

Just watched the video of her singing "I Won't Mind" (one of my all time favorite songs) Nice job with it. I still feel this song belongs to Audra as she simgs it with so much passion, but Salonga also does the song justice with her wonderful voice. I look forward to listening to this cd.

She changes the lyrics.
