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.

Musicals, Stars on Broadway

SeatPlan Recommends: The August Wilson Theatre stage is a little high, so sit in Orchestra rows E - J or Mezzanine rows B and C for the best view of Funny Girl's fast-footed choreography and musical numbers. The Mezzanine overhang is quite intrusive in the very back rows of the Orchestra, so expect to miss some parts of the set from here.
