Funny Girl at Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

She is the greatest star and the best people person on the planet. Fanny Brice's narrative begins with her young days in New York's Lower East Side, where the star-struck teenager bungles her way through burlesque and vaudeville, dreaming of making it big despite being put down by her friends and family, who tell her she isn't pretty enough for the stage. Fanny, with her awesome voice and unshakable conviction, knows better than to listen to the nay sayers. As the story moves forward Fanny falls in love with Nick Arnstein, a good-looking and charming gambling man with a gentle side, the moment they meet. And, with her big break in the Ziegfeld Follies on the horizon, the notoriety she's always lusted after is finally within reach. Her only problem is that the enigmatic Nick Arnstein, who is utterly unaware of her feelings for him, is constantly leaving town on some crazy venture. Nick and Fanny finally confess their feelings after a romantic encounter in Baltimore, and Fanny boldly leaves the Follies to follow Nick across the ocean. The couple happily marries after Nick wins a bankroll. But no thing good lasts for long, and Fanny must decide between her brilliant show business career and her husband, who is starting to hate her accomplishments. This is one hell of a story that certainly shouldn't be missed. Buy your tickets right here before it is too late.
