With music by one of America’s all-time great songwriters, Jule Styne (‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’, ‘Gypsy’), lyrics by Bob Merrill and book by Isobel Lennart , the musical first opened on Broadway in 1964, transferring to London in 1966. Michael Mayer ’s new production of Funny Girl , produced by Sonia Friedman Productions, Scott Landis Productions and Chocolate Factory Productions is currently playing at the Savoy Theatre until 8 October, following its record-breaking run at the Menier Chocolate Factory. 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the original London production of Funny Girl , so what better way to celebrate the legendary musical than with a new album to capture the sound of the show – and its remarkable leading lady – for years to come.
