Funny Girl at Academy of Music

Fanny Brice is a adored comedienne who ascended to stardom even though many of her friends and neighbors told her she wasn't beautiful enough for the stage. Her story begins in her irrepressible youth on New York's Lower East Side, where the stage-struck teenager clowns her way through burlesque and vaudeville. Fanny is a smart one; she has a strong voice and big dreams and knows she can make it. At some point, Fanny's heart is instantly taken by Nick Arnstein, a attractive and charming gambler with a softer side. Her potential at fame is finally here with her upcoming performance in the Ziegfeld Follies. Her only difficulty is that Nick Arnstein, who is completely unaware to her feelings, is constantly disappearing on "business" trips. After a intense encounter in Baltimore, Nick and Fanny accept their sentiments for one another, and Fanny bravely leaves the Follies to join Nick across the ocean. Nick wins a large sum of money, and the couple quickly gets married and settles down. Fanny has to make a choice between her awesome career in show business or her adoring husband, who resents her success more and more as it grows. What an epic story line, but remember, tickets are limited, so be sure to get yours before it is too late.
