Funny Girl tells the story of performer Fanny Brice and her rise from the stages of vaudeville to become a world-renowned Ziegfeld star.

The musical features a book by Isobel Lennart, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Bob Merrill.

Directed and choreographed by James Brennan, the creative team for the North Shore Music Theatre production includes Mark Hartman (music direction), Austin Davey (assistant music direction), Stephen Dobay (scenic design), Mark Nagle (costume coordination), Jack Mehler (lighting design), and Charles Coes (sound design).
