Funny Girl, directed by Eda Holmes, tells the rags-to-riches story of vaudeville star Fanny Brice, featuring songs including "Don't Rain on My Parade," "People," and "I'm the Greatest Star." Sara Farb stars as Fanny Brice, a born performer who rises to fame with the Ziegfeld Follies before marrying the charming but troubled gambler Nick Arnstein, played by Qasim Khan. As Fanny's star rises, a shady business deal threatens everything she and Nick have built together, but Fanny faces life's setbacks with characteristic determination. The production runs at the Festival Theatre from April 24 to October 3, 2026, with choreography by Parker Esse and musical direction by Paul Sportelli.
