The groundbreaking coming-of-age show Fun Home was named Best Musical at the Tony Awards in New York on Sunday, one of five big trophies it won on the way to making history for its composing team.
British import The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time also won five awards, including Best Play. The revival of The King and I won four awards, including Best Revival.
Something Rotten! had 10 nominations but left with only one award, the same number that both Wolf Hall plays took home.
London-born actor Alex Sharp won Best Lead Actor in a Play for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, beating Bradley Cooper and Bill Nighy. The adaptation of Mark Haddon's best-selling novel also won Best Play, lighting, scenic design and earned its director Marianne Elliott a Tony, too.
Fun Home, based on Alison Bechdel's graphic novel, won for Best Book, Best Lead Actor for Michael Cerveris and Best Direction from Sam Gold. Two veteran Broadway stars – Cerveris and Kelli O'Hara of The King and I – took home lead acting Tonys.
