Profile for Theatrelover1975

I’ve heard this version has been updated to the 1950’s hence Sugar’s 50’s dress in the artwork. Can anyone that saw the workshop confirm?

The clothes she wore in Funny Lady is accurate.

I have come across absolutely no evidence to support this claim. So I guess I'll just have to take your word for it. Whatever that's worth....

The narrative of her being homely is just false.

No one, at least not on this forum has referred to Ms. Brice as homely, but Lana Turner she was not.

"People" is a liability? And "Music That Makes Me Dance," Fanny's eleven o'clock spot, needs to go?

CarlosAlberto said: "Thanks so much for the responses and the linked video of Brice. I kind of figured Streisand portrayed her much sexier than she was in reality - especially in "Funny Lady" when she comes out in that drop dead gorgeous beaded Bob Mackie/Ray Aghayan creation that had a plunging neck and backline for the "How Lucky Can You Get Number".

I hadn't seen "Funny Lady" in such a long time - that I completely forgot about this number. She was absolutely stunning in that number!"

Fanny Brice was a very beautiful woman who was known for her style. Her stage persona was clownish, but she wore all the best fashion from all over the world and was dressed by the top fashion designers of the time. The clothes she wore in Funny Lady is accurate. She was obsessed with style and having the best of everything. The narrative of her being homely is just false. She looked Jewish and people were mainly just antisemetic during the time.

According to dressers I know personally on Funny Girl, Beanie is being a complete diva backstage. She’s very unkind and demanding. This is not gossip. This is fact, as it’s from the mouth of people that are actually there. This does not help her case that she’s not doing well onstage.

Honestly I wish they’d just take Beanie out, and put Julie Benko on.

Just talked to a friend who is a dresser in the show, and they say Beanie is a complete nightmare backstage. She’s totally diva mode. Bossing people around and yelling at them. It doesn’t help her case. Yikes!

I'd just like to remind a lot of you that you arenot being very supportive of Broadway, which we all love.I mean, most people encourageconstructivecriticism and a little light snark, but really. My word.

Be a people who supports Broadway."

 

The whole thing was a mess last night. She sounds like a high schooler with no training. This is BROADWAY. There are literally thousands of talented women who can sing and act. I don’t understand the people making up excuses. The tickets are too expensive for this quality.
