You only have a few more chances to see Fanny Brice on Broadway.
The popular Broadway musical “Funny Girl” starring Lea Michele — in the lead role made famous on the stage and screen by Barbara Streisand — is closing on Sunday, Sept. 3 after opening with Beanie Feldstein and Jane Lynch back in March 2022.
That means there are only 13 more shows left at New York City’s August Wilson Theatre before Michele and her castmates Ramin Karimloo (CBS’ “Blue Bloods”), Jared Grimes (NBC’s “Manifest”) and Tovah Feldshuh (CW’s “Crazy Ex Girlfriend”) officially call it quits on the Broadway production of the show.
But we’re not here to rain on your parade.
Rather, we’re here to report good news.
Tickets are available for all remaining dates — and some are quite affordable considering this is such a buzzed-about musical.
In fact, we found some seats going for as low as $105 before fees* on Vivid Seats at the time of publication.
Full disclosure, the shows with the lowest prices will feature Lea Michele’s understudy, Julie Benko.
In any event, if you want to see the show that the NY Post’s critic Johnny Oleksinski claimed “bring(s) our favorite songs to thrilling life and give(s) us a few laughs,” here’s everything you need to know and more.
All prices are subject to fluctuation.
