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.
Featuring some of the most iconic songs in theatre history including "Don't Rain On My Parade," "I'm the Greatest Star," and "People," Michael Mayer's bold new production marks the first time Funny Girl has returned to Broadway since its debut 58 years ago.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Funny Girl
Theater review: 'Funny Girl' revival a star-driven, imperfect musical at Proctors
8 / 10
The present tour’s Fanny, Hannah Shankman, is up for the challenge, though. Her soaring pipes, motor-mouth comedy and charm help ground the challenging production. Shankman deftly wields Fanny’s humor as both a strength, like the belly-bouncing slapstick in her first performance with the Ziegfeld Follies, and a vulnerability, particularly in the punchlines tearfully delivered as Nick leaves her. She also makes smart vocal choices that side-step Streisand and allow her Fanny to find her own voice.
Theater Review: ‘Funny Girl’ at The Kennedy Center
9 / 10
On stage and singing for almost the entire duration of the show, McCrimmon is phenomenal in the challenging role of Fanny Brice. Blending great vocal range with the occasional growl, her performance of “Don’t Rain on My Parade” is a theatrical moment not to be missed. McCrimmon is a rising star who held the audience in rapt attention not only through song, but in her intimate scenes with Nick. Collective gasps could be heard at several lines of dialogue when Nick or Fanny revealed a hidden truth. “Funny Girl” is so much more than funny—it is heartfelt.
