Funny Girl - 2022 Broadway History , Info & More


August Wilson Theatre (Broadway)
245 W. 52nd St. New York, NY 10019

With music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Bob Merrill and book by Isobel Lennart, Funny Girl has become one of the most beloved Broadway classics, famous for skyrocketing Barbra Streisand to stardom. 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. Michael Mayer's bold new production marks the first time Funny Girl has returned to Broadway since its debut 58 years ago.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Funny Girl

THEATER REVIEW: Lea Michele rides waves of love in Broadway’s ‘Funny Girl’
8 / 10

what will impress the audience the most will be Michele's acting chops. She's very touching as her Fanny gets trapped in the net with that same handsome loser and you get the sense, as a young star who has been through the wringers of Twitter and its snap-judgement squeeze, that Michele now knows full well how fame and fortune ain't ever all fun, not least because men usually can't easily handle successful women.

Review | Lea Michele reinvigorates ‘Funny Girl’
8 / 10

On the other hand, Michele's performances of 'I'm the Greatest Star' and 'Don't Rain On My Parade' are absolutely exhilarating, prompting frenzied excitement and mid-show standing ovations. Michele also throws herself into her character's comedy bits, even though her efforts are more hard-working than inspired or genuinely funny.
