The Playhouse SA will present FUNNY GIRL, featuring music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Bob Merrill, and book by Isobel Lennart from an original story by Miss Lennart. The production runs June 6 - 29, 2014 at The Playhouse SA Cellar Theater, located at 800 West Ashby, San Antonio, TX.

OK let me start off by saying, Babs she ain't and thank God for that. OK, now before you all form the lynch mob, I love Babs. But if anyone is going to even attempt to put on "Funny Girl" the worst thing they could do it try to pass off an imitation of an icon. And Sarah Rose Davis in Village's current production manages to pull off carrying the show with aplomb while still putting her own stamp on the role.

Hale Center Theater Orem presents "Willy Wonka Jr.", running May 19 - 23, 2014.

"I want you to tell me your name, real name if it's different. And I'd also like to know where you were born…"

Courtney Balan is set to star as Fanny Brice in Riverside Theatre's FUNNY GIRL, which will play the Stark Stage in Vero Beach, FL, Jan. 10-27, 2013. James Brennan directs and choregraphs the show.

Schon als junges Mädchen wusste Fanny Brice, dass sie auf die Bühne gehörte. Das Kind jüdisch-ungarischer Einwanderer erfüllte sich den amerikanischen Traum, indem es voller Ehrgeiz und mit viel komischem Talent zunächst die New Yorker Vorstadtbühnen eroberte, um schließlich der Star der Ziegfeld-Follies zu werden, jener legendären Broadway-Revuen von Florence Ziegfeld jr., die mit ihren prächtigen Ausstattungen und der Erfindung der „Chorus Line“ zum Inbegriff der Broadway-Shows in den Goldenen 20er Jahren wurden.
