Sorry, maybe I was wrong referencing voting rounds...may have heard it wrong. Point being the two top vote getters were apparently F.HOME and VISIT.Though,I can not validate the people that said it nor do I know how they knew. Perhaps, best to have Said nothing.

At any rate, and this is just personal taste here, the use of the narrator seems a fairly eas way into a story. It is is a structural device that has been done to death. That is what stuck me as somewhat formulaic about Kron's book. However, as I believe I said, Fun Home was a fine, compelling show in my opinion, reservations aside


I hate to say it, in response to the post after yours, as much as I am revolted by john Simons hate based references, I do think he understands structure and exhibits a fair amount of intellegence. There was another critic who I believe has passed away. His name was Martin Gottfried. Smart critic, Hideous human being.... at least to the degree he revealed himself in his notices. Don't get it. They are New York Theater critics. Guess hate can live anywhere
