Funny Girl at August Wilson Theatre

Fanny Brice, the main character, is not meant to be "pretty," yet she oozes a dazzling beauty. Everything about her—her voice, her comedic ways, her gentle charms, her elegant hands, and her eyes that penetrate with burning stares through the soul—is the stuff of the greats.

Her tale begins in her irrepressible young days on New York's Lower East Side, where the stage-struck teenager feels her way through burlesque and vaudeville. Fanny is a bright one; she sings artfully, has big goals, and knows she can manage to overcome the doubts of her loved ones.

After meeting Nick Arnstein, a attractive and charming gambler with a softer side, Fanny's heart is immediately taken. The only problem is that Nick doesn't comprehend how she feels and is always disappearing on presumed "business" trips.

After a spirited encounter in Baltimore, Nick and Fanny finally admit their feelings for one another, and Fanny courageously decides to follow Nick across the ocean. After Nick wins a bankroll, the couple gets married. But as with all good things, Fanny has to decide between her husband, who is growing increasingly bitter and angry of her success in show business, and her wonderful career as an entertainer. You should not pass up on this incredible tale. Tickets are still available, but you should get them right now before they're all gone.
