Funny Girl
Funny Girl, the Broadway musical that made Barbra Streisand a star in 1965, is having its first run in Paris. Loosely based on the life of comedian Fanny Brice, Funny Girl has some of the most memorable show songs including People, Don’t Rain on My Parade, and I’m the Greatest Star. Did you know that Funny Girl has never had a Broadway revival?
