Highland Arts Theatre Presents

FUNNY GIRL

Music by Jule Styne

Lyrics by Bob Merrill

Book by Isobel Lennart from an original story by Miss Lennart

Directed by Wesley J. Colford

Music Directed by Barbara Stetter

Choreographed by Stephen Greig

She's the greatest star! With humour, talent and chutzpah, Fanny Brice, an awkward Jewish girl who "isn't pretty," defies the odds and becomes a superstar of vaudeville, radio and Hollywood.

One of our most successful "Confidential Musical Theatre Projects" comes to life in a vibrant full production with a full cast, live band, and all local talent. In the Ziegfeld Follies, Fanny Brice was one of the most celebrated entertainers of her time. Fanny's rise to super-stardom and her turbulent romance with gambler Nick Arnstein are explored through Bob Merrill and Jule Styne's unforgettable score, which includes "Don't Rain On My Parade", "People", and "I'm the Greatest Star".

Starring Mea Tonet as Fanny Brice and Ciarán MacGillivray as Nick Arnstein

Come see the role that made Barbara Streisand a star in the first ever Cape Breton production!
