Funny Girl
In the first revival of Funny Girl, she played the lead character, Fanny Brice. Ray Stark, who married Fanny Brice’s daughter Frances Brice in 1940, created the Broadway musical, film version, and sequel, Funny Lady. Stark spent $50,000 on an authorized biography of Brice. He then hired Ben Hecht to create the screenplay for a biography, but neither succeeded him. Isobel Lennart submitted My Man, which satisfied Stark and Columbia Pictures officials, who gave Stark $400,000 plus a portion of the film’s gross revenue.
After reading the screenplay, Mary Martin approached Stark and suggested that it be turned into a theater musical. Producer David Merrick proposed Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim compose the score, but Sondheim turned her down due to her ethnicity. Merrick then reviewed the project with Jerome Robbins, who handed up the screenplay to Anne Bancroft. Merrick then created music for Bancroft and Bob Merrill, who penned lyrics for them. Styne was pleased with the results and finished the remainder of the score.
Despite Stark’s concerns, Streisand was recruited on the spot. Merrick hired Bob Fosse to direct Funny Girl, but the production stalled for several months. Merrick offered Garson Kanin as director, but Stark backed out shortly after. Streisand was dissatisfied with Kanin as a director and wanted Robbins back. The show had script and score issues during rehearsals, and the New York premiere was postponed five times.
