This Tony Award-winning Pulitzer Prize-nominated Broadway musical is our 2024 Kahilu Youth Troupe production.
Music by Jeanine Tesori
Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron
Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel
Alison is 9, begging her father to play with her. She is 19, overcome by the aching and joyous pain of first love. She is 43, an out lesbian hunting for the truth of her brilliant, volatile, and closeted father’s life and death. She is all three at once, trying to untangle the central mystery of her childhood: How did she survive their shared hometown, when her father could not?
With a score that ranges from exuberant 70s pop to aching melodies and dissonant harmonies of characters longing to be known, Fun Home is the Tony Award-winning story of a daughter and father, of coming out and coming to terms with a life shaped by a family’s secrets.

Delaney McGrath, plays Alison’s mother, Helen. Colin Briskey, returns to play Alison’s father, Bruce. Ryanne Solinsky joins the Fun Home cast in the role of Middle Alison. Olive Kerley makes her Kahilu debut in the role of Small Alison. Other current members of the Kahilu Youth Troupe – Nolan Kerley, Benito Mercia, Lillian Mills, and Billie Powers – round out the cast in supporting roles.
