Coachella Valley Repertory Presents Tony Award Best Musical FUN HOME

Broadway veterans, Leslie Tinaro (EVITA, MY FAIR LADY), Kristen Howe (ANNIE, JOSEPH AND THE TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT), and Victor Wallace (MAMMA MIA!) will star in the five-time Tony© Award-winning musical FUN HOME by Lisa Horn and Jeanine Tesori, at Coachella Valley Repertory.

FUN HOME, the second show in the 2022-2023 Season at CVRep, and received the Tonys' top three awards: Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score. Fun Home, the book, is Alison Bechdel's autobiographical graphic memoir that uncovers secrets through three different ages in her life.

FUN HOME isn't just a coming of age or coming out story, but one that sets out to unravel the many mysteries of childhood that everyone can identify with. It's a moving journey of acceptance in a wholly original American musical. The NY Times review said, "[FUN HOME's] universality comes from its awareness of how we never fully know even those closest to us, and of the undercurrent of grown-up secrets.
