Following a critically acclaimed and record-breaking sold-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory, Funny Girl, is back in London’s West End for the first time since the original Broadway hit transferred in 1966. 50 years on, the hit musical is now showing at the Savoy Theatre for a strictly limited run until 8 October 2016.

Featuring some of the most iconic songs in film and theatre history, including “People” and “Don’t Rain On My Parade”, this musical classic tells the fascinating and bitter-sweet story of Fanny Brice, whose vocal talents and comedic ability see her rise from Brooklyn music hall singer to Broadway star, and her tempestuous relationship with gambler Nicky Arnstein.

This bold new production, with music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Bob Merrill, a book by Isobel Lennart from an original story by Miss Lennart, with revisions by Harvey Fierstein, is directed by Michael Mayer (Hedwig and the Angry Inch & Spring Awakening on Broadway), and promises to be the must-see musical of 2016. 

Special notes

Sheridan is scheduled to perform Tuesday through Saturday, with Natasha playing Fanny Brice on Monday evenings. This schedule is subject to change.

Funny Girl was fantastic. Sheridan Smith gives a powerhouse performance

Giuseppina Tita

The musical has been gorgeous! Unfortunately I had a seat with restricted view (not declared during my booking).

Harry

The acting was great the choreography was great, but the volume was horrific. ON reaching high notes the singers seem shout and screech rather than sing. This is made worse by the amplification. I understand that is why some like, especially the young, but it has put me off returning to a music show.

Sian Lewis

Fantastic show! One of the best I've seen this year - and I've seen a lot!

Gillian Tapp

Funny Girl with Sheridan Smith was absolutely amazing.

Jason Wollington

It was simply superb - one of the best shows I have seen and if I had seen the matinee I would have sold a body part to see the evening show! Natalie Barnes led a fantastic performance and it was an honour to be part of the audience on the show's last week.

Jon Kearsey

Very good. Sheridan Smith was excellent. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen.

Review: Funny Girl At The Savoy Theatre Starring Natasha J Barnes

Funny Girl, currently playing at London's Savoy Theatre, has been the cause of a great deal of hype since it opened in April. For a show that has been heavily revered by a lot of critics, I was slightly surprised that the production didn't completely explode onto stage; it was a pleasant, but very gentle show. However, the performance of Natasha J Barnes, who has been covering the principal role of Fanny Brice in the absence of Sheridan Smith, raised the show to a level of real excellence. The silver lining around the cloud of Smith's absence is that Barnes has been given a much deserved opportunity to absolutely shine, and she really does fill the stage with life, and energy. The show completely revolves around Barnes, and she makes the character of Fanny Brice so interesting, and engaging, that I would defy anybody to be unimpressed by the production.

Funny Girl – Funny Women In Theatre

Funny Girl tells the story of Fanny Brice, an actress who takes Broadway by storm with her knack for comedy. Funny women are in no shortage on the West End but sometimes get pushed aside by the more dramatic and tragic roles such as Fantine in Les Miserables and Kim in Miss Saigon. These hilarious roles should be appreciated more, especially as comedy has traditionally been a male-dominated zone for many years. Here’s my pick of four amazing and funny female roles from the West End’s past and present.

Hello, Gorgeous! The History Of Fanny Brice And The Cult Classic Musical, Funny Girl

With the news of the classic Jule Styne and Bob Merill musical FUNNY GIRL making its way from its sold out run at the Menier this fall into the Savoy Theatre on the West End next April, I thought it would be apt to take you through the history of Funny Girl as a musical and where it originated from before that.
