MEMBER: THE BROADWAY COLLECTIONGolden Globe Award nominee Beanie Feldstein (
Booksmart;
Hello, Dolly!) stars as “Fanny Brice” in the first Broadway revival of
Funny Girl.
Funny Girl tells the bitter-sweet story of Fanny Brice (Feldstein), whose unique comedic and vocal talent see her rise from young Brooklyn music hall performer to star, and her tempestuous relationship with gambler, Nicky Arnstein.
The new production directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (
Hedwig and the Angry Inch,
Spring Awakening) features some of the most iconic songs in theatre history including “People” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”
Michael Mayer’s bold new production marks the first time
Funny Girl will return to Broadway since its debut 58 years ago. The original production of
Funny Girl premiered on Broadway in 1964 starring Barbra Streisand as “Fanny Brice” and was nominated for eight Tony Awards including Best Musical.
Here is why we at Broadway Inbound think it's a perfect show for groups:
You and your group will love this show – it’s a true feel-good musical and just a fun night out. Funny Girl first opened in 1964 and is now back on Broadway in its first ever revival. The show offers the perfect mix of comedy and drama, and the score is simply phenomenal. The musical includes many iconic songs, such as “I’m the Greatest Star,” “Sadie, Sadie,” “People” and “The Music That Makes Me Dance” – songs that you and your group will be humming long after the curtain falls. You’ll also love the costumes and sets, which are truly spectacular.
Fanny and Nicky’s relationship is fraught with impossible obstacles and miscommunication that are ripe for drama. But it’s also a love story, and one that is ultimately very touching and sweet. The cast is incredible, and Feldstein brings a huge stage presence and a powerhouse voice to Fanny’s journey, which takes many twists and turns.
Whether you’re a group of friends, family, or colleagues, you will have a great time at the show. It’s a true classic musical with a great score, interesting characters, and plenty of laughs. You’ll talk about it for days after.
