FUNNY GIRL star Katerina McCrimmon sings “My Man” at the finale of the national tour

The national tour of FUNNY GIRL has completed its first year on the road and to cap it all off, the star of the show, Katerina McCrimmon, took to the stage for a special performance after the final applause.

Continuing a tradition started by Barbra Streisand, the show’s original Fanny, and later carried on by Lea Michele, the star treated the audience to a rendition of Brice’s signature song, “My Man,” after her bow during her final appearance.

The tour will continue next month, beginning September 24 at the Paramount Theater in Seattle. The cast for the next leg of the tour has not yet been announced.
