Now seeking equity actors for possible future replacement chorus dancer parts in the Broadway production and chorus dancer parts in the tour production of FUNNY GIRL. This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
