Funny Girl

Roseville College.

Funny Girl is a much loved musical that celebrates the life of the famous Vaudevillian, Fanny Brice. From Fanny’s determination to be discovered, the height of her fame as a Ziegfield Girl and the disastrous end to her marriage, Funny Girl is a moving tribute to the life of a determined, talented woman.

Funny Girl relies heavily on the talent of its supporting leads to engage the audience and drive the narrative forward with compassion and hilarity. As such, Sophie Bass as Mrs Brice, Amelia Skinner as Eddie and Ellie Dudley as Nick Arnstein, professionally supported the talented Charli Lucas who sang, danced and acted the role of Fanny Brice with a maturity far beyond her 15 years.

The set, in a clever use of stairs, paid homage to the world of the Zeigfield Follies, whilst transforming into the “down at heel” stoop of Mrs Brice’s saloon on the Lower East Side.

Clever lighting and glamorous costumes, transported the audience into just after the turn of the century   world of New York . The band conducted by Ms Noni Katada, was sensational.

Funny Girl was an hilarious, moving, stylish and dazzling production. The cast and creative team took a demanding and iconic Broadway masterpiece and made it their own.
