Funny Girl at August Wilson Theatre

Fanny Brice, the lead character, is not meant to be "pretty," yet she emanates a dazzling beauty. Everything about her—her voice, her comedic ways, her delightful charms, her elegant hands, and her eyes that penetrate with burning stares through the soul—is the stuff of the greats.

Her story begins in her irrepressible youth on New York's Lower East Side, where the stage-struck teenager fumbles her way through burlesque and vaudeville. Fanny is a bright one; she sings expertly, has high goals, and knows she can succeed despite the doubts of her loved ones.

After meeting Nick Arnstein, a charming and attractive gambler with a softer side, Fanny's heart is immediately taken. The only problem is that Nick doesn't realize how she feels and is always disappearing on presumed "business" trips.

After a vehement encounter in Baltimore, Nick and Fanny readily admit their feelings for one another, and Fanny gallantly decides to follow Nick across the ocean. After Nick wins a bankroll, the couple gets married. But as with all good things, Fanny has to choose between her husband, who is growing increasingly dissatisfied of her success in show business, and her wonderful career as an entertainer. You should not miss out on this incredible tale. Tickets are still available, but you should get them right now before they're all gone.
