Musical. UK 2018, 164 min (with interval). Directed by Michael Mayer. Starring: Sheridan Smith, Darius Campbell, Nigel Barber, Zoë Ann Bown, Martin Callaghan, Jennifer Harding. In English with Russian subtitles. Following its sell-out run in London’s West End and national tour, the critically-acclaimed musical Funny Girl comes to a cinema near you, featuring Sheridan Smith in “an unforgettable star turn” (The Times). Funny Girl is semi-biographical, based on the life and career of Broadway star, film actress and comedienne Fanny Brice (a role made famous by Barbra Streisand on Broadway and the 1968 film adaptation), and her stormy relationship with entrepreneur and gambler Nick Arnstein. Praised by critics as having “irresistible charm, wit and warmth” (Metro), and hailing Sheridan Smith as “the greatest star by far” (The Daily Telegraph) Funny Girl features a host of timeless musical numbers including “People,” “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “Don’t Rain On My Parade.”
