Funny Girl at August Wilson Theatre

Theatre is a sophisticated expression of a simple human need — one might call it an instinct — to copy, to project stories onto ourselves and others, and to create meaning through narrative and metaphor. We see this instinct expressed in children when they act out real or imagined characters and events. We have evidence of theatre-like performances in some of the oldest human cultures, long before the creation of Western theatre in Ancient Greece. So theatre matters, in essence, because we can't help it. It's part of what makes us human. So if you want to satisfy that natural human desire, come to the August Wilson Theatre in New York City to see one of the greatest shows ever, Funny Girl on Friday 3rd June 2022.
