Funny Girl at Ahmanson Theatre

Fanny Brice's trip from being a gentle, uninspired, stage-shy young teen to becoming a national star is shown in the musical, Funny Girl. It is based on the happenings in her life that transpired just before, during, and after World War I. Her tale starts in her early years in the Lower East Side of New York City, where the young teenager bungles her way through burlesque and vaudeville while hoping to make it large despite being disparaged by her family and friends who say she is not talented enough to be a star on stage. It also tells the story of her bond with Nick Arnstein, a charming local whose draw Fanny finds fetching, as well as the eventual failure of their marriage. The musical presentation at the Ahmanson Theatre features a number of show-stopping songs like "People" and "Don't Let It Rain on My Parade," which spectators utterly love. Expect awe-inspiring cast performances as well as breathtaking visuals. It goes without saying, but because everybody wants to see this one-of-a-kind masterpiece, tickets are quickly running out, so be sure to purchase yours before it's too late and someone else obtains what should be yours.
