Why see Funny Girl?
The musical comedy adventures of an unlikely Ziegfield girl named Fanny Brice was the talk of the town and the hottest ticket on Broadway in 1964.
FUNNY GIRL is the rags-to-riches, road-to-stardom story of a legendary entertainer. A love story packed with unforgettable songs: “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” “The Music That Makes Me Dance,” and the iconic hit “People.” It’s an irresistible backstage drama, a heartbreaking romance, a classic musical that takes you back to the Golden Age of Ziegfeld and the height of burlesque.
Tony Award® winning director Bartlett Sher has reassembled the acclaimed creative team behind his ravishing revival of South Pacific to debut this new production at the Ahmanson.

Katerina McCrimmon performs a brilliant, spicy interpretation of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl and her vocals are amazing. Along with Melissa Manchester as Mrs. Brice, the tandem work well together and the music is outstanding. This is a great cast and crew and well worth coming to see. ... Read more

The quintessential Funny Girl
Today we experienced magic!
I NEVER in my life thought I’d love anything more than the film, FUNNY GIRL!
But today we saw the quintessential production of Funny Girl as the National Tour started its run in Providence, RI!
Melissa Manchester was at one moment hysterical, loving, charming, vulnerable and Oy!!!!! SUCH A YENTA as Rose Brice.
A fabulous performance.
But this show is about Fanny Brice and you have to have enormous shoulders to carry off this score and book.
#katerinamccrimmon …Katerina McCrimmon did it. And I dare say, matched if not soared above Barbra’s brilliant version.
This gal is a superstar waiting to happen.
It was like watching Jennifer Holliday when Dreamgirls premiered…. Or Ben Platt as Evan Hansen.
Today… we all knew we were watching a star in the making. She was perfection in every way.
If you miss this production, you’ll be sorry. It’s playing till the 16th at PPAC in RI!
Make the trip. It’s worth every moment.
Oy! What a day I had today!!!! ... Read more
