Funny Girl is the hilarious, brilliant and stunningly gorgeous production that has made the almost 60-year wait for its return worth every second." Here with more are the stars of the show Katerina McCrimmon (Fanny) and Stephen Mark Lucas (Nick). “This beautiful musical is absolutely timeless” says McCrimmon.
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.
The audience can find something in every character. The roles originally played by Barbara Streisand and Omar Sharif left a blue print for us to follow” says Lucas. He adds “the musical is so popular and in demand that at times you forget what city your performing in.”
The music is stunning and the performance is riveting. “I enjoy singing iconic songs like ‘People’” says McCrimmon. She adds “I added my own jazzy style to help me deliver and convey the funny romantic feelings of the musical.” Come and join the fun. Tickets are still available.
