One of the gems of American musical theatre, Funny Girl chronicles the early life, professional success and personal tribulations of Fanny Brice, one of the brightest lights of the American musical theatre. An awkward, stagestruck girl with a fierce determination to succeed, Brice defied the odds with her unique sense of comedy, and became both the stage and screen’s ultimate comedienne. With music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Bob Merrill, and a book by Isobel Lennart, the classic score features the songs “I Am the Greatest Star,” “People,” and “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”
