Today Tans and I hit the matinée scene at The Savoy Theatre to see “Funny Girl”

the musical made famous by the absolutely fabulous Barbra Streisand.

The story of Fanny Brice and how she rose to stardom.  This version was staring Sheridan Smith in the lead role as Fanny and I couldn’t wait.  I fangirled a little because not only do I love Babs, I also love Funny Girl and Sheridan is one of my faves.  Win/Win/Win.

You might know SS from shows such as:

Love Soup

2 Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps

Gavin and Stacey, as Smithy’s younger sister, Rudy

Jonathan Creek

Cilla

and now on the stage in the West End as Fanny Brice

The show was fabulous, and Sheridan was awesome. The only thing that could have made this day better if is Babs herself showed up.
