Funny Girl (2002)

Music by Jule Styne
Lyrics by Bob Merrill
Directed by Garson Kanin

The musical is set in and around New York City just before and following World War I. Ziegfeld Follies star Fanny Brice, awaiting the return of her husband Nicky Arnstein from prison, reflects on their life together, and their story is told as a flashback. Act 1 Fanny is a stage-struck teen who gets her first job in vaudeville.
