  3. FUNNY GIRL


Funny Girl is a classic musical with a rich history. Debuting on Broadway in 1964, it launched the career of the iconic Barbra Streisand in the starring role of Fanny Brice. The show features music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Bob Merrill, and a book by Isobel Lennart.

Funny Girl is a semi-biographical comedy based on the life of Fanny Brice, a powerhouse comedian and Ziegfeld Follies star known for her belting voice and comedic timing. The musical follows Fanny's rise from humble beginnings on the Lower East Side to national fame, exploring her tumultuous relationship with gambler Nicky Arnstein along the way. Packed with showstopping numbers like "Don't Rain on My Parade" and "People," Funny Girl is a heartwarming and hilarious story about resilience, ambition, and finding your voice.

The show has enjoyed numerous productions throughout the years. After its successful Broadway run, it went on to be staged in the West End and toured internationally. There have also been several revivals, including a recent one on Broadway in 2022 starring Lea Michele. Funny Girl remains a beloved musical with a timeless message and unforgettable songs.
