Representation matters - but that's just the beginning of the story!
John and John sit down this week to talk about the musical adaptation of Alison Bechdel's coming of age graphic novel, "Fun Home". The pair discuss how this show is important not only for its representation, but how it's amazingly successful in presenting that representation in a realistic, sincere, and nuanced way. Also, John and John talk about how the show is indicative of the changing styles of Broadway, its technical elements, and how this influenced their view of composer Jeanine Tesori.
Music by Jeanine Tesori
Lyrics and book by Lisa Kron
Based on the graphic novel "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel
