Elaine's Musical Treat: Funny Girl

  • Wold Performing Arts Center 3601 North Military Trail Boca Raton, FL, 33431 United States (map)

Exclusive production sponsor Elaine J. Wold invites you to “Funny Girl” at Lynn University’s Wold Performing Arts Center on October 18-20, 2024!

This performance is directed by Lynn University Associate Professor and Chair of Drama Adam Simpson and stars Lynn's B.F.A. in drama program students.

Nominated for eight Tony Awards in 1964, including Best Musical, in the Ziegfeld Follies, in Hollywood films and on the radio, Fanny Brice was one of the most celebrated entertainers of her time. With humor, talent and chutzpah, young Fanny, an awkward Jewish girl who "isn't pretty," defies the odds and becomes one of the greatest stars of her generation. 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 "People," "Don't Rain On My Parade," "I'm the Greatest Star," "The Music That Makes Me Dance," and "You Are Woman, I Am Man." The musical was originally written by Jule Styne (score), Bob Merrill (lyrics) and Isobel Lennart (book).

Conducted by Music Director Phil Hinton, featuring an orchestra of conservatory students.

Schedule of performances:
Friday, October 18, 2024, at 7:30 PM
Saturday, October 19, 2024, at 2 PM and 7:30 PM
