This sensational Broadway revival dazzles with one of the most celebrated musical scores of all time, including classic songs Don’t Rain On My Parade, I’m the Greatest Star, and People.

This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life onstage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
