Video: Katerina McCrimmon & Melissa Manchester Talk FUNNY GIRL on ABC7 News Bay Area

FUNNY GIRL is at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco from April 30–May 26, 2024.

By:



Katerina McCrimmon (Fanny Brice) and Melissa Manchester (Mrs. Brice) sat down with  ABC7 News Bay Area to discuss the Funny Girl National Tour, stopping at the Orpheum Theatre in San Francisco through May 26, 2024.

"Audiences have been stellar, especially here in San Francisco," McCrimmon told ABC 7. "They've given us such a warm welcome. We're really grateful for that."

Featuring one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, a revised book from Harvey Fierstein based on the original classic by Isobel Lennart, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, choreography by Ellenore Scott, and direction from Michael Mayer, this love letter to the theatre has the whole shebang! The sensational cast, starring Katerina McCrimmon as Fanny Brice, Stephen Mark Lukas, Grammy Award-winner Melissa Manchester and Izaiah Montaque Harris, dazzles with the songs “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.” This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
