Funny Girl at Ahmanson Theatre

Fanny Brice is the central character of this story and isn’t supposed to be "pretty," but she shines in a way that is irresistible. Her voice, comedic ways, graceful charms, elegant hands, and eyes that penetrate with burning stares through the soul are the stuff legends are made of.

Her story begins in her irrepressible youth on New York's Lower East Side, where the stage-struck teenager fumbles her way through burlesque and vaudeville. Fanny is a smart one; she has an excellent voice, huge aspirations and knows she can make it despite being put down by friends and family.

At some point, Fanny's heart is instantly taken by Nick Arnstein, a attractive and charming risk taker with a softer side. Her only problem is that Nick is unaware of her feelings and regularly leaves town on "business" trips. Nick and Fanny eventually admit their feelings for one another after a fiery encounter in Baltimore, and Fanny bravely leaves to run after Nick across the ocean.

The couple happily marries after Nick wins a bankroll. But no thing 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 certainly shouldn't be missed. Grab your tickets, right here before it is too late.
