Well, this one's not from the UK. Will be streaming for two weeks on their official site, production from 2017.

I was planning to see Fun Home in both Washington DC and Melbourne this year, so I'm happy this stream is happening!

Small Allison in this production is played by my high school drama teacher's daughter! Excited to finally see this.

Was this production similar to Gold's, or a new interpretation?

It was similar to the tour staging, if I recall correctly. But it was a great production - Middle Allison in particular was great.

Lizzie, you have most likely dodged a bullet by missing Fun Home in Melbourne , Dean Bryant direction on Kiss Of The Spiderwoman last year was beyond awful. I was looking forward to Fun Home but not helmed by him. 

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Thanks (?), Roscoe! I had been planning to combine the trip with The Secret Garden. I actually misspoke and meant Sydney, not Melbourne, since I wouldn't have been able to overlap them in Melbourne. (I'm also surprised TSG hasn't been officially postponed.)

Quite similar, particularly to the original proscenium staging.

I wouldn't say Bryant's direction was beyond awful.  The usually wonderful Caroline O'Connor was miscast and the direction was competent but oh-so-dull. That kind of exaggeration sorta lets him off the hook.. But Australia has a lack of good directors I've found (though I also DID see a brilliant Beauty Queen of Lenanne on that trip as well). When I saw he was debuting Fun Home in Melbourne I did cry a little.

I'm so used to seeing revivals of American musicals in London with innovative directors.

Does anyone know the access code to the tickets? I've registered on the website but not able to book a ticket because I was requested to put in a promo code. Is the streaming available only for subscribers or members?

That page is weird....scroll down below it...it will keep asking for different info (each with a submit/next buttom) which then LOOKS like you are stuck on the same page....but you just need to scroll down.

 

It's kind of annoying, but I got through pretty quickly.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Thanks! Turned out my issue was the time difference between Chicago and NYC :) I logged in to book a ticket an hour too early.
