Funny Girl at Ahmanson Theatre

She is the greatest star and the nicest people person on the planet. Fanny Brice's narrative starts with her young days in New York's Lower East Side, where the star-struck young girl goofs her way through burlesque and vaudeville, wanting to make it big despite the discouragement of her friends and family, who tell her she isn't pretty enough for the stage. Fanny, with her incredible voice and drive, knows better than to listen to the nay sayers. As the story unfolds Fanny falls in love with Nick Arnstein, a handsome and charming gambling man with a gentle side, the moment they meet. 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 completely blind of her feelings for him, is constantly leaving town on some kooky venture. Nick and Fanny finally tell each other how they feel after a romantic meeting in Baltimore, and Fanny boldly abandons the Follies to follow Nick across the ocean. The couple happily marries after Nick wins a bankroll. But nothing good lasts forever, and Fanny must decide between her brilliant show business career and her husband, who is starting to hate her achievements. This is one hell of a story that surely shouldn't be missed. Grab your tickets right here before it is too late.
