Tony-Nominated Funny Girl in Redondo Beach
Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center (Redondo Beach, CA)
Funny Girl centers on the legendary comedian Fanny Brice, a gawky New Yorker who fast-talks her way into show business, certain that she’s destined to be “the greatest star.” Hired as a dramatic singer by impresario Flo Ziegfeld, Brice defies orders to play it straight, turning a “beautiful bride” tableau into a laugh riot. The strategy turns Brice into an overnight star and the toast of Broadway. But all is not roses for Brice, especially in her turbulent private life as the wife of big-time gambler Nicky Arnstein. At first finding it amusing to be referred to as “Mr. Brice,” he eventually begins to resent his wife’s fame and fortune and starts taking foolish risks with other people’s money. The musical features such classics songs, such as as “People,” “My Man” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”
