Who Played Mrs. Brice in Funny Girl

Mrs. Brice is a role in Funny Girl, a musical that opened West End in 1966.

Based on an original story by Isobel Lennart<p>Funny Girl is the semi-autobiographical tale of Fanny Brice's meteoric rise to fame and her stormy relationship with Nick Arnstein, a wealthy and charming gambler. From her start as a gawky Brooklyn teen fast-talking her way into show business to becoming the toast of New York to the unraveling of her personal life, Funny Girl is a stunning, richly told tour de force about one of Broadway's biggest stars. The endearing, poignant musical features a parade of great tunes including "People" and "Don't Rain on My Parade".

12 actors have played Mrs. Brice in Funny Girl.
