Life is hectic and many days it seems all we do is run, run, run. We run the kids to school; we run to work; we run to pick the kids up; we run the kids to sports and after-school activities; we run to Macaroni Kid events. The days pass by in a blur and we tend to forget that we have to make time for us, as adults, too! Parents need a night out away from the kiddos in order to regroup, relax and re-energize their relationship! For a Parent’s Night Out, consider going to The National Theatre in Washington, D.C. to see the Broadway musical, FUN HOME, which runs from April 18 through May 13, 2017.
Every once in a while, a Broadway musical comes along that surprises, moves and excites audiences in ways only a truly landmark musical can. The groundbreaking, life-affirming and exquisite new musical FUN HOME was the event of the Broadway season, receiving raves from critics and audiences alike, winning five 2015 Tony Awards including BEST MUSICAL and making history along the way. Based on Alison Bechdel’s best-selling graphic memoir, FUN HOME introduces us to Alison at three different ages as she explores and unravels the many mysteries of her childhood. A refreshingly honest musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes, FUN HOME is extraordinary, a rare beauty that pumps fresh air into Broadway. (New York Times)
