Following critically acclaimed and record-breaking sold-out runs at the Menier Chocolate Factory and Savoy Theatre, we are thrilled to announce that Sheridan Smith will reprise her highly praised performance of Fanny Brice when the UK tour of Funny Girl comes to Birmingham Hippodrome from 9 – 13 May 2017.

‘Sheridan Smith is the greatest star by far.’

Daily Telegraph

‘An unforgettable star turn.’

The Times

‘Smith is hilarious, glorious, touching. With a performance that is all-singing, all dancing, all-joking and, somehow, all-soul too.’

The Times

‘Michael Mayer’s exhilarating embrace of a production.’

The Independent

Funny Girl brought global fame to Barbra Streisand 50 years ago and boasts some of the most iconic songs in film and theatre history, including People and Don’t Rain On My Parade. This ‘iconic, legendary, laugh-out-loud’ (The Times) musical tells the story of Fanny Brice, whose vocal talents and comedic ability see her rise from Brooklyn music hall singer to Broadway star.

‘A winningly exuberant performance. The most brilliant comic actress at work today.’

Sunday Times

Funny Girl is produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Scott Landis Productions, Chocolate Factory Productions, Dante Di Loreto and Michael Harrison.
