What is Rita Wilson wearing?

Sydney Lucas just slayed.

I adored Fun Home's performance. Loved the intro, Lucas was thrilling. Beautifully done.

And Kristin dressing as E.T. was adorable. :P

Still have chills from Sydney Lucas.

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.

Sydney Lucas. Star performance.

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

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

Sydney Lucas had the best performance of the night so far. Perfect- I'm so glad they picked that song! 

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.

Another impressive performance. 

"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."

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.
