Fanny Brice, a funny, unconventional girl from the Lower East Side, claws her way from vaudeville to stardom as the greatest comedienne of the Ziegfeld Follies. Along the way she falls for the charismatic gambler Nick Arnstein, and their tempestuous love story plays out against her meteoric rise. But as Fanny's career soars, Nick's pride and reckless schemes drive them apart. Jule Styne and Bob Merrill's classic musical celebrates the unstoppable force of a woman who turned being different into her greatest asset.
