Funny Girl at August Wilson Theatre

Funny Girl, which tells the story of Fanny Brice's rise from being a soft, simple, stage-shy young teen to national stardom. It is based on the occurrences in the life of the Ziegfeld Follies star just before, during, and after World War I. Her chronicle begins with her early years in New York City's Lower East Side, where the teenager scurries her way through burlesque and vaudeville while hoping to succeed despite being disparaged by her family and friends who claim she isn't pretty enough to be a star on stage. Additionally, it tells the tale of her love story with Nick Arnstein, a charming man about town who's appeal Fanny finds irresistible, and eventually, their subsequent failed union. The musical production at the Virginia/August Wilson Theatre is jam-packed with unforgettable music that viewers have come to expect from something of this quality, and it features several show-stopping songs like "People" and "Don't Let It Rain on My Parade." You can also expect some world beating performances from the cast and stunning visuals.
