Funny Girl at Sheas Performing Arts Center

Fanny Brice is a loved comedienne who ascended to superstardom even though many of her friends and neighbors told her she was not beautiful enough for the spotlight. Her story starts in her irrepressible young days on New York's Lower East Side, where the stage-struck teenager fumbles her way through burlesque and vaudeville. Fanny is a smart one; she has a strong voice and huge aspirations and knows she can make it. At some point, Fanny's heart is instantly taken by Nick Arnstein, a handsome and charming gambler with a softer side. Her opportunity at fame is finally here with her upcoming performance in the Ziegfeld Follies. Her only hindrance is that Nick Arnstein, who is completely clueless to her feelings, is constantly disappearing on "business" trips. After a intense encounter in Baltimore, Nick and Fanny confess their sentiments for one another, and Fanny bravely leaves the Follies to join Nick across the ocean. Nick wins a big sum of money, and the couple quickly gets married and settles down. Fanny has to make a a difficult choice between her awesome career in show business or her adoring husband, who resents her success more and more as it grows. What an magnificent story line, but remember, tickets are limited, so be sure to get yours before it is too late.
