I’m a straight man, so I’ll never know what this is like from a gay/female perspective. But oh man, when I saw this show and watched Abby Corrigan perform this song, I was weeping by the end. Because I do know what it’s like to be scared and alone and young and confused, I’m still dealing with all of that. And I remember my Joan. I remember the insane rush of emotions I felt that first time. And my experience with that was very similar to that of medium Alison, dorm room bed and all. How I felt like I’d never known true happiness before, to be so trusted by someone I cared for and to have that trust translate into physical intimacy. Man oh man do I love this show(/book), and man oh man do I love this song.
I am currently using this book in a class I teach and it is definitely not important to be gay to understand this--only to have felt in love with someone. It's universal.
I was blown away by the Fun Home cast!! I saw the show at PlayHouse Square in Cleveland! Abby was everything I could have imagined as Medium Alison! She remained so much of Emily Skeggs. I got to meet Abby after the show and she was the sweetest, down to earth girl!
I SAW HER TODAY AT PROCTORS AND SHE WAS SO GOOD AND THEN I GOT TO MEET HER AND SHE WAS SO SWEET OMG THANK YOU FOR NOT LAUGHING AT ME FOR ME FOR BEING NERVOUS
Just saw Fun Home in SF at the Curran. She is so adorably hilarious!! Beautiful show, beautiful production, beautiful cast, beautiful theater. 2 weeks left - GO SEE IT!!!!!
The year my show was nominated for Best Musical at the Blumey's, she was nominated for the second time for Best Actress as Peter Pan so we all got to hang out back stage and I met her for a bit and she was the sweetest thing and was so supportive. I wish the world for you, home girl!
Oh my god oh my god oh my god IS THIS GREAT! Brilliant, detailed, hilarious, soaring performance of this song!!! I expect to watch this at least a dozen more times...
I love her so much!! I got to see her live twice while they were touring in California and she was so amazing!!!!!!! We're gonna travel to Arizona when they tour there to see it again cause we can't get enough! Thank you for making this show amazing!
Wonderful job, also from the pianist (who is it, why aren’t they listed in the credits? Am I missing it, I’ve searched all the comments) and camera folks and editor!
love Abby so much!!! she was AMAZING in Fun Home. and you should check out her singing "You Will Be Found" with Leslie Odom Jr. th-cam.com/video/MdRzdW8iiv8/w-d-xo.html

I remember Abby walking through the halls at my high school singing all the time, she’s absolutely amazing
Shes my cousin!!
I'm kind of really into the straight-toned "but I'm" and then vibrato on "changing" at 3:14
Heh, straight
You have to listen to it on .5x speed it’s even better. Sorry. But yeah its really good
Price of admission is worth her performance alone. She's amazing!
agreed 200%

I know her from a film i was in
So nice...
Here because I recognized her when I was watching Castle Rock season 2
I LOVE this performance. Nope I LOVE her ! lol changing my major to, you get it

I absolutely love this song, but my mom's name is Joan, so when I hear this song I'm low-key really uncomfortable for all of it.
LOVE this
But I must say that I've watched this video about 100 times. Honestly, no regrets
I have a selfie with this lovely lass and I CHERISH IT
CHILLLLLLLLZ
I miss my Abby!!! She’s my cousin💋💕
She makes me think of Tessa Netting
Now that you mention it, she does.
That's what I thought!
Alexandra K she should be a spastic starfish ballet girl.
Yas

Wonderful job, also from the pianist
(who is it, why aren’t they listed in the credits? Am I missing it, I’ve searched all the comments)

Abby is great!!! make me straights for 4 minuts!
She looks like a doll. Kinda freaky but her performance was awesome!
Same
She’s crazy.
