The Funny Girl musical is touring at Walton Arts Center. This production’s cast includes Grammy-winner Melissa Manchester as Rose Brice, mother of Fanny, the comedian and star of stage whose life informs the musical. Kyle Kellams speaks to Manchester about the show and tour.
This run of Funny Girl coincides with Manchester’s most recent record, Re:View, a celebration of her 50 year-long career. She said the original Funny Girl has held a revered spot in her heart and being part of this tour makes complete sense.
