Funny Girl - West End

Funny Girl first opened on Broadway on the 26th March 1964 at the Winter Garden Theatre. It later transferred to the Majestic Theatre and The Broadway Theatre and closed in 1967.
​
The original book was written by Isobel Lennart, music composed by Jule Styne and lyrics written by Bob Merrill. The musical is semi-biographical, based on the life and career of Broadway star, film actress and Comedienne Fanny Brice. Lennart originally named the book for the show My Man; this was changed to Funny Girl during the creation of the production. Ray Stark, Brice’s son-in-law via her daughter Frances, produced the original version of the stage show.
​
Funny Girl was arguably Barbra Streisand’s big break through her lead role in the original production.
​
Following a sold-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory in 2015, Funny Girl The Musical returned to the West End for the first time in 50 years, at The Savoy Theatre from 9 April 2016.
