Photo Coverage: FUN HOME's Jeanine Tesori Becomes First Female Composer to Receive Star on Playwright's Sidewalk

Today, May 21, 2015, Fun Home composer and four-time Tony Award nominee Jeanine Tesori became the first female composer to ever receive a star on the famed Playwright's Sidewalk outside the Lucille Lortel Theatre. BroadwayWorld was there and brings you photos from the celebration below!

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 four-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. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and already the winner of five awards for Best Musical, Fun Home is a refreshingly honest, wholly original musical about seeing your parents through grown-up eyes.
