Berko review: FUNNY GIRL
by Roy Berko 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *FUNNY GIRL is a throwback to the traditional musical. From the sprightly * *overture, to the sequential story line, to an I want song (“Who are You Now!), that sets the show’s storyline in action, to the big score which is nicely woven into the storyline, to several hit songs (“People” and Don’t Rain on My Parade”), it is meant to entertain audiences and, in spite of what some will think is a misinterpretation of the role of Fanny, entertain it does. * *To read the entire review go to: *https://royberkinfo.blogspot.com/ *To read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: * https://clevelandtheaterreviews.blogspot.com/ *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*
