Few film debuts in the 1960s were more auspicious than that of Barbra Streisand in FUNNY GIRL. Already a legit and recording star, she shot to superstardom and nabbed an Oscar for best actress in the bargain. Ms Babs had played musical-comedy star Fanny Brice on Broadway and had the role down pat by the time director William Wyler brought the story to the screen.In the early 1900s in New York City, young Fanny, an ugly duckling with an unstoppable ambition to be a star, is determined to get out of the Lower East Side. Her big break comes when she’s spotted by handsome gambler Nicky Arnstein (Omar Sharif), who helps her catch the eye of Florenz Ziegfeld

The memorable Broadway score was augmented for the screen with several tunes from Brice’s life, including her signature, “My Man.”

The ‘Classics on the Loop’ will continue at The Tivoli:
