Funny Girl at Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

Fanny Brice, the lead character, is not meant to be "pretty," yet she oozes a dazzling beauty. Everything about her—her voice, her comedic ways, her beautiful charms, her elegant hands, and her eyes that penetrate with burning stares through the soul—is the stuff of the greats.

Her tale begins in her irrepressible youth on New York's Lower East Side, where the stage-struck teenager clowns her way through burlesque and vaudeville. Fanny is a bright one; she sings perfectly, has big goals, and knows she can succeed despite the doubts of her loved ones.

After meeting Nick Arnstein, a charming and attractive gambler with a softer side, Fanny's heart is immediately taken. The only problem is that Nick doesn't comprehend how she feels and is always disappearing on assumed "business" trips.

After a vehement encounter in Baltimore, Nick and Fanny boldly proclaim their feelings for one another, and Fanny bravely decides to follow Nick across the ocean. After Nick wins a bankroll, the couple gets married. But as with all good things, Fanny has to choose between her husband, who is growing increasingly dissatisfied of her success in show business, and her wonderful career as an entertainer. You should not miss out on this incredible tale. Tickets are still available, but you should get them right here before they're all gone.
