Barbra Streisand News

It's a lot to ask of a leading lady to make audiences forget Barbra Streisand in the role that catapulted her to stardom. That's one of the reasons why FUNNY GIRL, the musical that forever linked Streisand to the title character Fanny Brice, has never been revived on Broadway. Well, look no more, producers. If ever there was an actress who could fill Streisand's shoes and make FUNNY GIRL her own, it's the star who's currently electrifying audiences in the role at North Shore Music Theatre in Beverly: Shoshnna Bean.

The Edge Theater Company is proud to announce its upcoming Summer Series at 1560 Teller Street, Suite 200, Lakewood CO 80214. Tickets are $28 for each individual show or the Summer Series Pass can be purchased for both summer shows for only $46.
