Maybe you should listen to the whole thing. It being heavy on the storytelling gives you a chance to absorb the whole story of the show (her own life story) on CD. It's not about living in a creepy funeral home at all.

Just my opinion, but it's not "meh" at all, on stage or on CD. Happy to hear the Tesori of Caroline and Violet.

[I also lived for awhile in an apartment in the basement of a funeral home when I was in college - lots of interesting drinking games]

Ann- I get that part..I liked the story and the funeral home is really minor... although a mortician friend sent me a joke last night about switching heads on bodies instead of changing clothes and caskets. I replied that that was creepy.. the music to this seemed pedestrian to me, more rote story telling through words and not encompassing or using the music to heighten my mood or elevate me to a new place. It seemed all words and no visceral clawing at me. I'll listen again. And on that note, I HAVE to get to nyc to see the new VIOLET. I will be very unhappy if I don't..

I hope that Kron and Tesori will reunite and tackle something else. Fun Home is simply an exquisite work.

Yes, two women whose work a admire greatly. Add in Bechdel to that.
