Funny Girl at Ahmanson Theatre

She is the biggest star and the nicest people person on the planet. Fanny Brice's story starts with her young days in New York's Lower East Side, where the star-struck teenager goofs her way through burlesque and vaudeville, dreaming of making it big despite the discouragement of her friends and family, who tell her she isn't beautiful enough for the stage. Fanny, with her awesome voice and unshakable conviction, knows better than to listen to the nay sayers. As the story unfolds Fanny falls for Nick Arnstein, a good-looking and charismatic gambling man with a gentle side, the the moment she sees him. And, with her big break in the Ziegfeld Follies on the horizon, the stardom she's always lusted after is finally within reach. Her only problem is that the enigmatic Nick Arnstein, who is utterly unaware of her feelings for him, is constantly leaving town on some crazy venture. Nick and Fanny finally tell each other how they feel after a romantic meeting in Baltimore, and Fanny boldly leaves the Follies to chase Nick across the ocean. The couple happily marries after Nick wins a bankroll. But nothing good lasts for long, and Fanny must decide between her brilliant show business career and her husband, who is starting to hate her accomplishments. This is one hell of a story that most definitely shouldn't be missed. Grab your tickets right here before it is too late.
