Producers of the upcoming Broadway revival of Funny Girl have announced that Golden Globe Award nominee Beanie Feldstein will star as ‘Fanny Brice’ in the new production, beginning in Spring 2022.

Directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer, Funny Girl features some of the most iconic songs in theatre history including ‘People’ and ‘Don’t Rain on My Parade.’

With choreography by Ellenore Scott, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, a revised book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein and set design by Tony Award winner David Zinn, Funny Girl features music by Tony, Grammy and Academy Award winner Jule Styne, lyrics by Tony Award nominee and Grammy Award winner Bob Merrill and a book by Isobel Lennart, from an original story by Miss Lennart.

Beanie Feldstein said: “The first time I played Fanny Brice was at my third birthday party, in a head-to-toe leopard print outfit my mom made for me. So, it’s safe to say that stepping into this iconic role, on Broadway and not in my family’s backyard, is truly my lifelong dream come true. I am immensely grateful to be able to do so alongside such a remarkable creative team, and cannot wait for audiences to get back in theaters again!”

The full creative team, further casting, production dates, theatre and on sale plans will be announced shortly.
