Funny Girl premiere in Malmö Opera

The evergreen musical premieres on 27th January for a limited run

Funny Girl is the classic musical biography of Broadway star Fanny Brice, who sang and danced her way across New York’s glittering theatre stages during the early twentieth century.

Many people will be familiar with Barbra Streisand’s iconic portrayal of Brice on Broadway and, above all, in the motion picture, for which she won the Oscar for best leading actress. Just like Brice in her time, Streisand also turned gender conventions on their head in a world dominated by men.

The experienced team behind the production has worked together on several musicals. The ensemble cast is directed by Ronny Danielsson and choreographed by Roger Lybeck. Costume designer Camilla Thulin, set designer Martin Chocholousek.

Conductor Joakim Hallin leads the Malmö Opera Orchestra through the many showstopping numbers, including hits such as People, Don’t Rain On My Parade, Sadie Sadie and I’m The Greatest Star.
