Synopsis:

Funny Girl follows the life of Fanny Brice, an aspiring Broadway
actress. She starts off the show as the 'ugly duckling' struggling to
find work on Broadway. Then, with the help of her dance instructor,
Eddie, she lands a leading role and eventually becomes a major star.
Meanwhile, she falls in love with a handsome gambler, Nick Arnstein.
After a long courting process, in which Nick would leave for months at
a time, Fanny and Nick finally get married. Fanny gives up her
Broadway career to follow Nick, but she is forced to return to the
stage when the couple runs out of money. In the end, Fanny has to use
all her money to support Nick's crazy business ventures. Eventually,
Nick gets arrested and the he and Fanny split up for good.
