FUN HOME or 'phone home'?!

The 2015 TONY AWARDS was hosted by fellow winners Alan Cumming and Kristin Chenoweth, featuring performances from Best Musical nominees FUN HOME, AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, SOMETHING ROTTEN!, THE VISIT and many more and Chenoweth memorably and playfully poked fun at FUN HOME by making a surprise appearance as iconic film character E.T. and delivering the alien's famous catchphrase, "Phone home" during the telecast and a backstage view of the costume prep at Radio City Music Hall is now available to view.

Chenoweth shared the shot as well as commented earlier today, writing, "Wait... so he didn't say phone home? Reliving Tony Awards memories! Did y'all catch the show? #TonyAwards".
