Funny Girl is a 1964 musical with a book by Isobel Lennart, music by Jule Styne, and lyrics by Bob Merrill. The semi-biographical plot is based on the life and career of Broadway star, film actress and comedienne Fanny Brice featuring her stormy relationship with entrepreneur and gambler Nick Arnstein. Its original title was My Man.
The musical was produced by Ray Stark, who was Brice's son-in-law via his marriage to her daughter Frances, and starred Barbra Streisand. The production was nominated for eight Tony Awards but, facing tough competition from Hello, Dolly!, it failed to win in any categories.
The original cast recording of Funny Girl was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004.

(Zegree) SATB (A Cappela)

Another gorgeous ballad from the Great American Songbook that has been recorded by a who's who of American singers. The lush harmonies lend themselves to performance by both large choral groups and pop/jazz ensembles. Piano accompaniment is easy and supportive of the vocal lines. Full, rich choral writing, with an opening solo.
