The Events Calendar by Oh My! Omaha
Omaha Performing Arts presents the Broadway touring production of “Funny Girl” Nov. 12-17. Performances are Tuesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 2 & 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 1 & 6:30 p.m. Tickets are sold through Ticket Omaha.
Synopsis: Featuring one of the most iconic scores of all time by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, an updated book from Harvey Fierstein based on the original classic by Isobel Lennart, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, choreography by Ellenore Scott, and direction from Michael Mayer, this love letter to the theatre has the whole shebang!
The sensational Broadway revival dazzles with celebrated classic songs, including “Don’t Rain On My Parade,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.” This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
