BRITISH has talent swept the board at Broadway's equivalent of the Oscars where a lesbian coming-of-age musical and a play about a teenage maths whiz each won five Tony Awards.

THE musical Fun Home, based on the story of a young woman reconstructing her childhood in order to better understand her gay father, won the coveted prize for best musical and four other Tonys including best direction and best leading actor.
