FUNNY GIRL to Launch National Tour

I'm really surprised that this national tour is kicking off in Atlanta (A) the first week of August and (B) for only one week.

Wonder why they don't save this for the Fall, and book it in a big city like Atlanta for at least three weeks ? It's a long-awaited revival, and now has a solid reputation behind it. Could it be they chose to do August and only one week because they can't get a headliner who is noteworthy ?

The tour is actually launching in Providence in September 2023 and won’t be playing Atlanta until the following August. Maybe whoever they have or are considering for Fanny won’t be able to do the show after 9 months or so, thus the short run in Atlanta. Didn’t Betty Buckley only do 9 months of the Hello, Dolly tour before Carolee took over?

Atlanta is a 2024 stop of the tour! It launches in Providence, RI.

Tours rarely have names and this cast will never be able to compete with the current Broadway one, whomever they may be. I think you need a very strong cast to make this show any good.

It's interesting they are staying for only five days in most cities on this tour. I guess there's not heavy demand for this show in most places?

I don’t know the breakdown but I’d guess it’s a SETA tour, so if the show sells well the cast can make some money. Rumor was they had a former Elphaba lined up to play the lead. Not a name to most audiences but enough of a name for theater nerds to enjoy. And I’m glad they went with someone who can sing and act.

I heard a rumor of Talia Suskaeur...

Not sure if this was talked about yet- but it looks like this tour is a non replica of the broadway production that just closed. According to Kevin Adams (@ambermylar on insta) who keeps sharing sneak peaks

I honestly still quite can't believe a non-Jew is playing Fanny on this tour.

I heard something different. And it wasn't that she was bad. . We will know soon enough.

Hard to tell from those instagram posts. Could it be similar to the Sheridan bus and truck set? The one in the stream.

It would be nice if they got rid of that awful phony show curtain drop.

The set was awful and trashed by the critics and audiences so not surprised but also good to know! Curious what direction it did go in.

She definitely has the pipes- but not crazy about her interpretation.

Maybe I'm still bitter about them casting a non-Jew as Fanny, but she has an air about her that I find very unlikable. But that's probably a me problem.

She sounds like she's singing at a jazz cabaret, not as the unapologetic Fanny Brice.

Clearly she's a very talented vocalist, but her casting just feels so not right to me on so many levels.

These promotional videos often are filmed to be deliberately out of context with the way the same song would be delivered in stage performance. I do find her vocals exciting, and she has an unconventional glamour to her that I think it is essential for success in the part.

FUNNY GIRL National Tour - Katerina McCrimmon as Fanny!

Posted: 9/7/23 at 12:26pm

WOWOW What a VOICE loving her vocal styling of the song. Who cares if she's NOT Jewish! You GO Katerina prove the haters wrong on how great a Fanny you will be! See ya at some point during the tour - super excited now!
