"Fun home..."first all female writing team"? What about Secret Garden's Lucy Simon (score) and Marsha Norman (book and lyrics)?"
First female team TO WIN.

Well that was good. I saw the Fun Home performance on The View and didn't really like it, but this was impressive.

I adored Fun Home's performance. Loved the intro, Lucas was thrilling. Beautifully done.
And Kristin dressing as E.T. was adorable. :P

Did anyone else notice the number of phones in the audience behind Sydney Lucas's head while she was performing? Oof.

"I heard there were "creative additions" for this Fun Home performance. If you've seen the show what are your thoughts?"
There was a lot more exposition. Basically they condensed the key points into an intro. Love Sydney Lucas and thought she was fabulous.

Confusing to give FUN HOME more scenery and props than it had onstage. So surprised that the dad was in that scene at all. And, no it wasn't the best come-on to get folks buying tickets, but i have no idea which song would have done that.

I am not able to see this but I guess with Fun Home this is what the touring production may look like

Right?! When you're married to Tom Hanks, you can wear anything at all and that's what she picks. That was a train wreck.

I can't imagine how this could be construed as confusing. It provided context to the number.

Could this Paris performance be anymore boring?

Sydney Lucas had the best performance of the night so far. Perfect- I'm so glad they picked that song!
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Talk about not being a great commercial for their show, I'm super-disappointed with AAIP's number. Seems so old-fashioned, but onstage those numbers were so magnificent!

My vote for best musical...AAIP!! If any number would not sell tickets, it's Fun Home..I'm sure the show is great but not the kind of number that will appeal to everyone.

Got goosebumps from Sydney Lucas' performance. Can't wait to see it in July.

It was staged almost exactly like the show. The dad is in a diner drinking coffee in the show and adult Alison is watching from her drawing table, which happens throughout the show.
