In 2014, at the age of 10, Lucas became the youngest individual to win an Obie Award for her portrayal of Small Alison in the original Off-Broadway cast of Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori's musical ''Fun Home''. That same year, she was also nominated for a Drama Desk Award, among other prestigious prizes.

Lucas left the company of ''Fun Home'' on October 4, 2015. Reviewing her Off-Broadway performance as Small Allison, critic Ben Brantley wrote in ''The New York Times'': Sydney Lucas as Small Alison may pull off the show's most improbable coup of a performance. She delivers her character’s sense of inchoate sexual identity without a trace of cuteness, coyness or winking archness. And a moment in which Small Alison is transfixed and transported by the vision of a handsome deliverywoman in a diner becomes an occasion for a soaring epiphany of a song. This Alison doesn't know quite what's happening inside her, but she understands that it makes her feel free, happy and oddly complete. Lucas has been cast as Mary Lennox in ''The Secret Garden'' with Manhattan Concert Productions on February 21 and 22, 2016 at Lincoln Center’s David Geffen Hall. Lucas has portrayed the younger version of two different characters played by Kristen Wiig in the films ''Girl Most Likely'' (2012) and ''The Skeleton Twins'' (2014).
