Funny Girl at Benedum Center Pittsburgh

The main character, Fanny Brice, is not supposed to be "pretty," but she shines with undoubted brilliance. Her voice, wit, beautiful charms, elegant hands, and eyes that penetrate with burning stares through the soul are nothing short of extraordinary.

Her story begins when she is a young, fearless performer on the Lower East Side of New York City, blundering through the worlds of burlesque and vaudeville in the midst of her epic journey. Fanny is a gifted and intelligent young woman who sings with grace, has lofty goals, and is confident in her own capacity to accomplish them despite the doubts of her family and friends.

Fanny's heart is instantly taken by Nick Arnstein, a dapper gambler with a sensitive side. Nick, however, does not acknowledge her feelings and frequently disappears on what she assumes to be "business" trips. Nick and Fanny have a passionate encounter in Baltimore, during which they both openly admit their feelings for one another, and Fanny bravely decides to travel across the ocean to be with Nick. Nick's win of a considerable sum of money led to the couple's decision to tie the knot. Fanny's husband is becoming increasingly dissatisfied with her success in show business, but she has a stellar career as an entertainer and must pick between between him and him.
