Funny Girl

Jan 9 - Jan 14

WELCOME TO MUSICAL COMEDY HEAVEN!

Featuring one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, an updated book from Harvey Fierstein based on the original classic by Isobel Lennart, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, choreography by Ellenore Scott, and direction from Michael Mayer, this love letter to the theatre has the whole shebang!

The sensational Broadway revival dazzles with one of the most celebrated musical scores of all time, including classic songs “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.” This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.

Bonus Content:
For those attending the show on Thursday, January 11, stick around after for a post-show Q&A with some of the cast.

Sign up for a Tap Master Class with the actor that plays EDDIE RYAN happening on January 11 at 4:00 PM. The first 45 minutes will be a beginner/intermediate level class with the last 15 minutes being a Q&A with the actor. Learn more & sign up here.
