Goodbye, Gorgeous.
The popular Broadway musical “Funny Girl” starring Lea Michele — in the Fanny Brice role made famous by Barbara Streisand — is closing on Sept. 3, 2023 after opening with Beanie Feldstein and Jane Lynch back in March 2022.
That means there are only six more months worth of shows left at New York City’s August Wilson Theatre before Michele and her castmates Ramin Karimloo (CBS’ “Blue Bloods”), Jared Grimes (NBC’s “Manifest”) and Tovah Feldshuh (CW’s “Crazy Ex Girlfriend”) officially close the curtains for good on the production in midtown Manhattan.
But we’re not here to rain on your parade.
Rather, we’re here to report good news.
Tickets are available for all remaining dates — and some are quite affordable considering this is such a buzzed-about musical.
In fact, we found some seats going for as low as $66 before fees on Vivid Seats at the time of publication.
So, if you want to see the show that the NY Post’s critic Johnny Oleksinski claimed “bring(s) our favorite songs to thrilling life and give(s) us a few laughs,” here’s everything you need to know.
All prices are subject to fluctuation.
