Funny Girl at Academy of Music

The tale of adored comedienne Fanny Brice starts with her irrepressible youth in New York's Lower East Side, where the stage-struck teen tumbles her way through burlesque and vaudeville with dreams of making it big despite the discouragement of her friends and neighbors, who tell her that she isn't pretty enough for the stage. Fanny, who has a strong voice and enormous drive, knows better. When Fanny first meets Nick Arnstein, a delightful and attractive gambler with a soft heart, she falls in love right away. The fame she has always wanted is now within arm's length as she awaits her opportunity in the Ziegfeld Follies. Her only problem is that Nick Arnstein, is unaware of her feelings and regularly leaves town on "business" trips. Nick and Fanny eventually admit their feelings for one another after a emotional encounter in Baltimore, and Fanny courageously leaves the Follies to pursue Nick across the ocean. A bankroll is won by Nick, and the newly wealthy couple gets married. However, no honeymoon lasts forever, and Fanny must decide whether to go after her brilliant show business career, which she loves, or be with her beloved husband, who is growing increasingly jealous of her success.
