With the up-coming Broadway revival of "Funny Girl" there is renewed interest in the legendary Jewish comedienne, Broadway and Ziegfeld Follies star, recording artist, and film actress extraordinaire. One of the most popular radio stars of all time, Fanny Brice was the voice of "Baby Snooks" on the radio for 25 years and, of course, was the inspiration for "Funny Girl." "Fabulous Fanny Brice" takes us beyond the 'funny girl' on a nostalgic journey throughout her life and infamous relationships, while she entertains with many of her popular hits and songs inspired by her legacy.
"Fabulous Fanny Brice" has been touring in theatres and venues across the U.S. for the past 9 years and live-streamed during the pandemic on the STELLAR platform where it was named 'Best To Stream' by Time Out NY, American Theatre Magazine and more. In July The Green Room 42 presented FABULOUS FANNY's first live, in-person performance since the pandemic began.
The creative team includes director Brian Childers (Danny & Sylvia), choreographer Justin Boccitto (Dance/Speak: The Life of Agnes De Mille), musical director Jeff Biering (Danny & Sylvia, Naked Boys Singing) with piano accompaniment by Seth Bisen-Hersh (Love Quirks), costume design by Ryan Mattheiu Smith (Adventures of Sweet Yellow), creative consultant, Kimberly Rehfuss (Broadway's Taboo); management by The Bohemia Group; and, booking agent, KMEntertainment.
