People asked about a tour because the show, based on Alison Bechdel’s graphic memoir of the same title, deals with unusual subject matter for the musical stage. It centers on a lesbian cartoonist, Alison (played by three actresses to present her as a child, a college student and a mature woman), as she reviews her life. She is particularly concerned about her relationship with her father, a controlling, deeply unhappy, closeted gay man.

But right after the Tony ceremony — where “Fun Home” picked up five awards — Isaacson dismissed any qualms.

“We are in an age when we all know we aren’t the same,” said Isaacson, artistic director and executive producer of the Muny. “People know that all over the country.”

For her part, Bechdel said she was “ecstatic” that a tour lay ahead.

Caskey, the president of Fox Theatricals, is especially happy that it’s coming to the Fox Theatre on Grand Boulevard. “As you can imagine, we are incredibly proud to bring a show we produced to St. Louis, with all its accolades” she said. It continues to run in New York.
