news: Funny Girl

By now, most of you know that Lauren Ambrose has been cast to play Fanny Brice in the first Broadway revival of Funny Girl to originate at the Ahmanson/Mark Taper Forum this January/February 2012 prior to Broadway. Barbra Streisand skyrocketed to fame in Funny Girl in 1964. This all new production will be directed by Bartlett Sher. I loved Ambrose in Six Feet Under and as Chiclet in the film version of Charles Busch's Psycho Beach Party. She's bound to bring a unique touch to the role!!!
