It's sad faces all around as BroadwayWorld bids farewell to Tony Award nominee Sydney Lucas who plays her final performance in Broadway's Fun Home today, Sunday, October 4. Her understudy, Gabriella Pizzolo , will take over the role of 'Small Alison' beginning October 6, 2015.
Below, we take a look back at the pint-sized star's journey with the production!
At just 11 years old, Lucas was nominated for the 2015 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical and captured audiences with her performance of "Ring of Keys" at the ceremony - re-live the beautiful moment below!
VIDEO
Lucas originated the role of 'Small Alison' when FUN HOME was in development at The Public Theater in 2012 and continued the part for the musical's off-Broadway run the following year. In addition to her 2015 Tony nod, the actress earned Drama Desk, Drama League, Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle nominations. She is also the youngest actress ever to win an Obie Award.
With music by Tony Award-winner Jeanine Tesori , a book and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Lisa Kron and direction by Tony Award-winner Sam Gold , Fun Home opened to rave reviews at the Circle in the Square Theatre (235 West 50th Street) on Sunday, April 19, 2015, and recently won five 2015 Tony Awards.
