About Fun Home

Music by Jeanine Tesori
Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron
Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel

Director & Choreographer: Adin Walker
Music Director & Conductor: Jad Bernardo

Fun Home is a Tony Award-winning musical by Lisa Kron (book and lyrics) and Jeanine Tesori (music), adapted from the graphic memoir Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel. The musical orbits a period of time when Alison Bechdel, as a college freshman in 1979, comes out to her parents in a letter, and then four months later her father commits suicide. Within those four months, Alison’s parents disclosed to her that her father was gay. The musical re-visits those four months from the vantage point of twenty years later as Alison approaches aging past her father. It is an elliptical exploration through her mind and her memory, her particular craft of accessing the past as a lesbian cartoonist, and a meditation on the creative labor for scripting a vision of one’s future beyond a too-soon narrative ending in death. Through it all, Fun Home invites audiences to join in a journey of experiencing and reflecting upon the particular pleasures, and the trials, of queer aging.

Dolly Parton’s hit 1980 film, reborn into a high-energy musical where… girls, we run the world!

Featuring Dolly Parton’s iconic music and lyrics, 9 to 5: The Musical is a high-energy, laugh-out-loud musical inspired by the beloved 1980 film. Set in the late 1970s, this comedy weaves a tale of female friendship, empowerment, and sweet revenge, all wrapped in the era of office Rolodexes and typewriters.

Enter Violet, Judy, and Doralee—three fabulous, fed-up women stuck in a soul-sucking office job under the thumb of their sexist, lying, hypocritical bigot and egotistical boss, Franklin Hart Jr. When these three unleash their inner divas and concoct a plan to take him down, the results are nothing short of fabulous. The women turn the office into a high-octane workplace revolution, with Hart left helplessly "otherwise engaged" as they rise to the top.

Full of heart, humor, and unforgettable songs by Dolly Parton, 9 to 5: The Musical is an uplifting celebration of the strength of women, friendship, and the power of standing up for what's right. Get ready to laugh, sing, and maybe even start your own office revolution—Dolly style!

THE FEEL-EVERYTHING MUSICAL!

Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, is a groundbreaking, emotion-fueled rock musical that dives deep into the complexities of mental illness and its impact on a seemingly typical suburban family. Winner of three Tony Awards—including Best Musical Score—and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Next to Normal has been hailed by critics across the nation as one of the best shows of the year, earning praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times.

On the surface, the Goodman family appears to have it all—a successful architect dad, a stay-at-home mom juggling the daily grind, and two sharp, wise-cracking teens. But beneath the facade of normalcy lies a heartbreaking reality: the mother, Diana, has been battling bipolar disorder for 16 years, and her condition has torn the family apart in ways they can’t escape. As each character grapples with their own emotional turmoil, Next to Normal takes audiences on a raw, unflinching journey through grief, love, and resilience.

With an unforgettable rock score that pulses with emotion, Next to Normal is a powerful, honest exploration of mental health, the impact of illness on a family, and the unspoken struggles that shape us all. It's a musical that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on what it truly means to be “normal.”

The hit musical by DAN GILLESPIE SELLS and TOM MACRAE

“A JOYOUS PUNCH IN THE AIR ABOUT FOLLOWING YOUR DREAMS AND BEING YOURSELF!”
-TIME OUT

Jamie New is sixteen and lives on a council estate in Sheffield.
Jamie doesn’t quite fit in.
Jamie is terrified about the future.

Sixteen: the edge of possibility. Time to make your dreams come true.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY:
Once upon a time, there was a 16-year-old boy who had a secret he wanted to tell…

So, he approached a documentary filmmaker as you do, and asked if they would help him tell it. The resulting documentary was seen by a theatre director and it inspired him to create a musical. A producing regional theatre backed him. He then bumped into a famous musical theatre star who introduced him to a well-known pop composer who was working with a lyricist and book writer. The theatre put on the production. A major producer saw it and offered them a West End theatre.

This new British musical, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, ran in the West End’s Apollo Theatre from October 2017 to September 2021.

Fairy tales really do come true.

Join us this May as we bring back to our Throckmorton Stage the immensely talented Throckmorton Youth Company in another wildly popular and beloved musical, Fiddler on the Roof. With its incredible music, cast of characters and rich history, this story is ultimately a universal tale of love, tradition, tolerance and a changing world. Based on a collection of short stories written by Sholem Aleichem (real name Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich), Fiddler on the Roof follows the family of Tevye and the Jewish community of Anatevka in 1905 Russia during a time of political unrest and oppression and how this small community (shtetl) experienced daily life and the ultimate struggle of finding “home”.
