We are yet another day closer to the biggest night on every theatre-lover's calendar- the 69th Annual Tony Awards, which will be co-hosted by Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming on Sunday, June 7 (8PM on CBS). Earlier this month, the 2015 Tony nominees gathered to meet the press and BroadwayWorld was on hand for the big day. Below, we bring you an exclusive interview with Sam Gold, Best Director of a Musical nominee for Fun Home.

Gold's Broadway credits include: The Real Thing (Roundabout at the American Airlines); The Realistic Joneses (Lyceum Theater); Picnic (Roundabout at the American Airlines Theatre); Seminar (Golden Theatre; also Ahmanson, L.A.).

FUN HOME introduces us to Alison at three different ages, revealing memories of her uniquely dysfunctional family - her mother, brothers and volatile, brilliant, enigmatic father - that connect with her in surprising new ways. This intimate and emotional theatrical experience is performed entirely in the round, bringing audiences closer to Alison's story than ever before.
