Comedienne Fanny Brice rises from a New York tenement to the toast of Broadway, but fame can’t keep her from falling for a self-destructive gambler.
This 1968 movie has become a musicals classic, directed by William Wyler, with a screenplay by Isobel Lennart adapted from her book for the original stage musical. Funny Girl has music and lyrics by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, and stars Barbra Streisand as Fanny Brice, reprising her Broadway role, with Omar Sharif as Arnstein, plus Kay Medford, Anne Francis, Walter Pidgeon, Lee Allen, and Mae Questel.
There is also a new Broadway production of Funny Girl.
