FUNNY GIRL on Broadway - Reviews & News Thread — Page 6

The scenic design looks promising! Zinn has rarely disappointed me in his work.

David Zinn can do no wrong.

My interest has piqued a bit more - and not just for Meg!

That big ass giant bow is giving me life. Hilarious.

As of today, no. Ephie Aardema and Julie Benko posted a picture together on Instagram today in front of the Wilson, which is still displaying the Slave Play marquee.

There’s some footage of the scenic and costume design presentations plus some closeups of renderings if anyone wants an idea at how the show is supposed to look.

Strange. Is it possible that video was taken down? I’m not able to view it."

Yes, it does appear it was taken down.

Its a scaffolding set with 2 large staircases on each side and center stage has an opening. From a quick flash of the script seen in the TikTok video, looks like Fanny makes her entrance at the top of the staircase and walks down to stage level where her dressing room set will be and she’ll look into the mirror (looking into the audience) and say the iconic “hello, gorgeous.”

Well we know from the logo that they'll be borrowing Aretha's inauguration hat.

What a great NYT piece. It presents the creative team as taking great care to mount this revival. I'm even more excited to see it now. And good to know that Fierstein and Mayer have taken what they learned in London to incorporate new things into the production here.

Based on what I’ve seen of the set design, definitely avoid partial views on this show due to the 2 staircases on each side of the stage which will most likely block a large amount going on upstage. You definitely will miss most if not all of the Ziegfeld Follies numbers as it’s obvious a large staircase will be center stage and those side staircases will block your view.

Weirdly leaves out any mention of the 2002 concert version.

I generally like to get close up seats and will often get partial views very up close, but those don't look available for my dates. Do you think the prices will go up from now or are likely to go down/get some discounts? Thank you!"

Hi Roxanne, because you want to go when the show is just beginning the tickets are pretty well sold. The tickets were initially cheaper but now they are just the standard rate for Broadway right now. I don't think they'll be discounts at this point, so you might try your luck later in the year because as I stated, those tickets were sold months ago. Good luck!

The Bartlett Sher/Lauren Ambrose production is in there, under "The 'Girl' That Got Away."

Just bought my ticket for my May trip! Mezz row G seat 106. I am so excited for this. So far I also have tickets for The Music Man and Plaza Suite!
