Funny Girl and its history

Funny Girl first premiered as a 1968 film directed by William Wyler, with a screenplay from Isobel Lennart. The film is a loose biographical drama based on the life of American actress Fanny Brice. The film secured Barbara Streisand, who played the titular character, the Best Actress award at the 1969 Academy Awards.

Funny Girl was revived as a Broadway play under direction of Michael Mayer and choreography by Ellenore Scott. The production also features a stellar cast, including Melissa Manchester and Katerina McCrimmon, who have been praised by the director in a recent announcement:

"Fans have adored Melissa throughout her 50-year musical career, and Katerina is a star in the making who embodies the rising stardom of Fanny. We could not be more thrilled to have this dynamic and talented duo lead the Funny Girl tour."

Other members of the cast include Stephen Mark Lukas, Izaiah Montaque Harris, Walter Coppage, Leah Platt, Christine Bunuan, Eileen T’Kaye, and David Foley Jr, with more to be announced in the near future.
