Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Alison Bechdel's 2006 graphic memoir Fun Home was adapted into a stage musical by Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori. It was workshopped from 2009-2013 before premiering Off-Broadway in October 2013 and opening on Broadway in 2015. It is one of the first major musicals to feature a lesbian protagonist.Like the source material, the musical chronicles Alison's coming-of-age. In her middle age, Alison recalls herself at Age 10 (Small Alison) and in adolescence (Middle Allison) and how she came to terms with her burgeoning sexuality and her complex relationship with her father. In reconciling the two, Alison comes to accept her past. | |

Adaptation Distillation | |
| Fun Home (Theatre) / int_5a40d6a | comment |
Adaptation Distillation: A few things. Alison's experiences in New York, both the bicentennial she spent with her family and her early post-undergraduate career, are much less important.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

In a weird way, Regular Alison's captions. In the original graphic memoir, Alison's descriptions of her own life were highly ornate and literary— in the musical, they're comparatively simple. | |

Adaptational Angst Upgrade | |
| Fun Home (Theatre) / int_730d3664 | comment |
Adaptational Angst Upgrade: Alison in the book freely admits that she and her brothers didn't grieve normally when their father died. They instead grinned at each other during the funeral and she laughed while telling a friend. In the book, she has a matter-of-fact approach about analyzing his life. In the musical, Alison is screaming at her dead father, asking if her coming out of the closet spurred his suicide. She also desperately begs for her last memory of him to be more than an awkward conversation. | |

Abled in the Adaptation: Alison's OCD is cut, despite it being hugely disruptive to her day-to-day life when she was a teenager. Joan having a glass eye due to a childhood accident is also cut. | |
