The iconic musical returns to Broadway
The August Wilson is the luckiest theater in New York, as classic musical Funny Girl returns to Broadway for the first time since 1964.Fanny is a girl from the Lower East Side who dreams of performing on stage. Despite her family’s reservations, she rises from Brooklyn music hall singer to one of the biggest stars on Broadway. Funny Girl charts the highs and lows of her career and personal life, as this comedic star navigates fame, fortune and a tempestuous marriage.
Partly based on the real Fanny Brice, this bittersweet comedy features some of the most iconic songs in musical history, including “Don’t Rain On My Parade” and “People”. It first opened on Broadway in 1964, starring Barbra Streisand, and earned an incredible eight Tony Award nominations.
In director Michael Mayer’s revival, Lea Michele stars as Fanny Brice, opposite Ramin Karimloo (Les Misérables) as husband Nick Arnstein. Further casting includes Tovah Feldshuh and Jared Grimes.
This hilarious and heart-warming story hasn’t graced a Broadway stage in almost 60 years, so make sure you book Funny Girl tickets for this iconic musical’s long-awaited return.

This was the first show that I saw on broadway that completely blew me away. Lea Michele was magnificent from start to finish. It was a tour de force performance ! If I lived in NYC, I'd go again and again !
Performance date: 10 December 2022
The show was very good, a revival of a great musical. Some miscasting and the romance isn’t really believable but Beanie nails the solos and the show soars when she does. Karimloo is great as Arnstein and it’s been rewritten into a meatier role than Read more

For a classic musical with lots of showstopper songs and big personalities, a view from the Mezzanine lets you take in all of the extravagance in one go.
How can I get cheap tickets for Funny Girl on Broadway?

The easiest way to get cheap tickets is to sit at the back or sides of either section, but you can use SeatPlan reviews to work out which is the best value for money. Mezzanine Q103 is central and has a clear view, but expect to feel quite far away with faces unclear. You may prefer this to the back of the Orchestra, which has a letterbox effect from the Mezzanine overhang.
