Funny Girl

Don't rain on our parade as we dive into the much beloved FUNNY GIRL, the troubled musical that catapulted Barbra Streisand to superstar status with its premiere at the Winter Garden in 1964. Anika and Michael debate whether FUNNY GIRL is actually a well written show and if the song "People" belongs in the show or not - you'll be surprised at the famous Broadway Director/Choreographer who wanted it cut from the script during his brief stint helming the project.
