An unusual intimate musical based on the autobiographical comics bestseller by writer Alison Bechdel, awarded the prestigious Tony theatre prize for the best libretto, the best music and the best musical of the year.

The heart-breaking emotional story that provokes both tears and laughter goes back to America in the 1970s and peeps into the life of the perfect family of a funeral-home owner. The main heroine Alison reflects on her childhood and puberty to reveal to us with great sincerity the behind-the-scenes daily functioning of her exemplary family, exploration of her own personality and all aspects of adolescent life, while looking for answers to unanswerable questions about her father's hidden secrets. As a result, she eventually finds out that she has much more in common with him than she thought.
