WELCOME TO MUSICAL COMEDY HEAVEN!

Featuring Melissa Manchester as Mrs. Brice and introducing Katerina McCrimmon as Fanny Brice.

“[Katerina] McCrimmon is a powerhouse.....She brings the house down as Fanny.” --  Los Angeles Times 

“This revival of Funny Girl revives the glory of musicals past” -- Los Angeles Times 

“Grammy winner Melissa Manchester plays Fanny’s mother to perfection.” -- The Detroit Jewish News 

Welcome to Musical Comedy Heaven!

Featuring one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, an updated book from Harvey Fierstein based on the original classic by Isobel Lennart, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, choreography by Ellenore Scott, and direction from Michael Mayer, this love letter to the theatre has the whole shebang! 

The sensational Broadway revival dazzles with celebrated classic songs, including “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.” This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway. 

“Sparkling and explosively entertaining!” -- The Observer 

“Vivacious and delightfully glitzy! ” -- Vogue 

“Funny Girl is the exact musical that we need right now. ” – Collider
