A Broadway Composer Takes a Night Off for Drag Queens

nytimes.com - Jeanine Tesori is the award-winning composer behind “Caroline, or Change” and “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” but Broadway shows aren’t truly her favorite thing.

“I don’t love going to musicals,” she said on a rainy night this month, sitting in the Fork, a diner on Eighth Avenue in Chelsea. “My ear works too hard.”

Her new show, “Fun Home” — the one that’s moving from the Public Theater to Broadway and generating lots of early Tony buzz — centers on a young lesbian whose father has died from an apparent suicide.
