A terrific score and plenty of laughs are provided by this beloved musical loosely based on the life of famed entertainer Fanny Brice (1891-1951).
Born Fania Borach to Jewish immigrants, Fanny Brice was a comedian, singer and actress who became one of the biggest stars in vaudeville and early radio. However, Fanny was just as famous for her often tragic personal life, especially her marriage to professional gambler Julius “Nicky” Arnstein (1879-1965).
The musical follows Fanny’s life starting as a stage-struck teen in New York City of the early 1900’s. She rises to fame as a musical comedy star but everything she has built is threatened by Nicky’s schemes. All of this is told through great songs such as “I’m the Greatest Star” and “People” as well as Brice’s signature song, “My Man.”
