In the Ziegfeld Follies, in Hollywood films, and on the radio, Fanny Brice was one of the most celebrated entertainers of her time. With humor, talent and chutzpah, young Fanny, an awkward Jewish girl who "isn't pretty," defies the odds and becomes one of the greatest stars of her generation.
Fanny's rise to super-stardom and her turbulent romance with gambler Nick Arnstein are explored through Bob Merrill and Jule Styne's unforgettable score, which includes "People," "Don't Rain On My Parade," "I'm the Greatest Star," "The Music That Makes Me Dance," and "You Are Woman, I Am Man."
Funny Girl opened on Broadway on March 26, 1964 and played for 1,348 performances at the Winter Garden, Majestic, and Broadway Theatres. The original cast featured Barbra Streisand, Sydney Chaplin, Kay Medford and Jean Stapleton.
A new London production opened at the Menier Chocolate Factory on December 2, 2015, starring Sheridan Smith as Fanny. The production transferred to London's Savoy Theatre in the West End, opening on April 9, 2016.
Nominee: Eight 1964 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and Best Composer & Lyricist.
Nominee: Eight 1969 Academy Awards, including Best Music.
Winner! 1969 Academy Award, Best Actress (Barbara Streisand).
Nominee: Two 2017 Olivier Awards, including Best Musical Revival.
“This show has one of the finest scores of songs in the lexicon of American musicals.” – J. Peter Bergman, The Berkshire Edge
“An eminently hummable score by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill.” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times
“It's the authentic aura of show business arising out of Fanny Brice's luminous career that lights up Funny Girl.” –Howard Taubman, The New York Times
“Stunning...dazzles from start to finish...it’s easy to see its allure; Jule Styne and Bob Merill’s music and lyrics and Isobel Lennart’s award-winning book...still standing up all these years on.” – Paul Heath, The Hollywood News
“A joyous romp through New York's golden years...this story feels so young and vital it could have been made yesterday.” – Natalie Salvo, The AU Review
“Funny Girl, the original 1964 Broadway musical, is a real stage animal, revisiting a classic era of American theatre. Most of its scenes are about theatre life and are set backstage or onstage, which means a live version is far more effective than the famous film.” – Neal Newman, DC Metro Theater Arts
With the opening of our 2nd location we are ready to entertain you!!
CCP never stops working to give you the very best in live theatrical entertainment!!
