Patten won a Drama Desk Award for her emotional “You Oughta Know'

The plot, which touches on rape culture, the opioid crisis, race, feminism, and classism, just to name a few topics, is a little bit of a grab bag. Among all that, the show’s best moments come from Jo, the out, gay character played by Lauren Patten.
My older sister loved it. But we’re seven years apart, so at that time it wasn’t … We weren’t close enough in age for her to be like, “Listen to my album.” She was more like, “Get out of my room.” Really the first time that I actually just listened top to bottom was before I did the very first reading of the show. Then I realized how many songs I actually knew—“Ironic” and “You Oughta Know,” of course.
Right, that’s a constant process. With Fun Home, when I first started the job I saw myself as straight. The show opened me up to understanding why I emulated my lesbian colleagues so deeply and why I connected with them. It took time to really understand that for myself. It was not long after that that I started developing Jo. So I was still very newly out, I suppose.Once you say, “I’m out,” the process is over. [Both laugh.
The night I saw the show you got a standing ovation mid-song during “You Oughta Know.” What do you do in that moment? Where does your brain go?
