Funny Girl at Academy of Music

Fanny Brice's trip from being a tender, uninspired, stage-shy young teen to becoming a national star is recounted in the musical, Funny Girl. It is based on the happenings in her life that took place just before, during, and after World War I. Her narrative begins in her early years in the Lower East Side of New York City, where the young teenager hustles her way through burlesque and vaudeville while hoping to make it large despite being disparaged by her family and friends who say she is not pretty enough to be a star on stage. It also tells the story of her relations with Nick Arnstein, a charming local whose appeal Fanny finds desirable, as well as the eventual failure of their marriage. The musical presentation at the Academy Of Music features a number of show-stopping numbers like "People" and "Don't Let It Rain on My Parade," which audiences totally love. Expect triumphant cast performances as well as breathtaking visuals. It goes without saying, but because people want to see this one-of-a-kind show, tickets are quickly running out, so be sure to purchase yours before it's too late and someone else obtains what should be yours.
