Helen Mirren, musical 'Fun Home' win top Tony Awards


Helen Mirren won her first Tony on Sunday for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in "The Audience," and the lesbian-coming of age story "Fun Home" nabbed the top acting prize for Michael Cerveris and best musical at the 69th Tony Awards.

British import "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," about a teenage math wizard with Asperger Syndrome who goes on an incredible journey, won five awards, including best play, director and actor for its star, recent Juilliard School graduate Alex Sharp.

Mirren described her win as "an incredible honor."

With a Tony, Broadway's highest honor, an Emmy and an Oscar, she said she would love to win a Grammy, which are for recorded material. "I have to do an audio book," she joked.
