Backstage is heating up at this year's Best Musical!

2015 Tony Award-winning Best Musical Fun Home took home not only the top prize but also awards for Best Score and Best Book Of A Musical and this year's Best Actor In A Musical for the show, Michael Cerveris, welcomed fellow award-winning vocalist Josh Groban backstage at the show earlier this week and a photo of the pair is now available to view.

Additionally, recognizable comedian and Broadway performer Mario Cantone joined the twosome in the photo, as well.

Cerveris posted the pic on Facebook, commenting, "More fun in the Tree Trap Lounge - with Mario Cantone and Josh Groban at Fun Home on Broadway."

Also, Groban commented on the performance on Twitter this week, as well, sharing, "Fun Home warmed my heart. Exciting to see where new musical theater is headed. @cerveris, @JudyKuhn1 and the whole cast are just wonderful."

Later, Groban followed up, writing, "I also want to say bravo to writers Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori (who's historic tony win should have been televised live). Gorgeous score."

Of note, Fun Home received Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Actor In A Musical (Michael Cerveris), Best Score (Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron), Best Book Of A Musical (Lisa Kron) and Best Director Of A Musical (Sam Gold).

The official description of Fun Home is as follows: "Welcome to FUN HOME, the groundbreaking new musical that comes to Broadway after a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at the Public Theater. Based on Alison Bechdel's best-selling graphic memoir, FUN HOME features music by 4-time Tony Award® nominee Jeanine Tesori (Violet; Caroline, or Change), book and lyrics by Tony Award nominee Lisa Kron (Well) and direction by Sam Gold (Seminar), and stars Tony winner Michael Cerveris (Sweeney Todd) and three-time Tony nominee Judy Kuhn (LES MISERABLES). 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."

Josh Groban is one of the world's best-selling vocalists, having recently released a new album of Broadway and Hollywood songs titled STAGES coming after several multiplatinum albums that have totaled over 25 million in sales worldwide, including ALL THAT ECHOES, ILLUMINATIONS, CLOSER and AWAKE. Additionally, Groban has appeared onstage in the Royal Albert Hall production of CHESS: IN CONCERT, recorded for CD and DVD, as well as a 2003 Actors Fund benefit concert performance of the musical.
