Welcome to musical heaven! The “lively and wonderfully dazzling” (Vogue) Broadway revival features iconic songs such as “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star” and “People.” Breaking box office records week after week and winning unanimous acclaim on Broadway, this bittersweet comedy tells the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice. As a Lower East Side girl who dreamed of a life on the stage, everyone told her she would never be a star, but then a funny thing happened – she became one of the most popular performers in history, shining brighter than Broadway’s brightest lights. The Observer describes the revival as “sparkling and explosively entertaining!”
