An updated and expanded Great White Way version of Fun Home 's off-Broadway cast recording will be released on PS Classics next month. With music by Jeanine Tesori and a book and lyrics by Lisa Kron, the new album will now feature Emily Skeggs, who took over the role of Medium Alison during the show’s original off-Broadway run and is re-creating the role on the Main Stem.
The record will also include new material written for the latest production, as well as additional material not included on the original recording. It is set for release via the PS Classics website and in-person at the show's Broadway home Circle in the Square Theatre from May 5, with in-store and digital purchase available from May 19.
Based on the graphic novel by Alison Bechdel, Fun Home charts a girl's quest to come to terms with her father's unexpected death. As she moves between past and present, Alison dives into the story of her volatile, brilliant father and relives her unique childhood at her family's funeral home.
Along with Skeggs, the cast also includes Michael Cerveris, Judy Kuhn, Roberta Colindrez, Sydney Lucas, Beth Malone, Joel Perez, Zell Morrow and Oscar Williams. The tuner will officially open on Broadway on April 19.
