Preview of 'One Night with Fanny Brice' in NYC

It is not often I get to post that a show which I reviewed in Connecticut is heading to New York City. I am so happy to report that Chip Defaa's wonderful musical is doing just that!

One Night With Fanny Brice is heading to NYC! Join Mary Cantoni Johnson as she reprises her role as Fanny Brice -- whose life inspired Funny Girl-- as she rose from poverty to become America’s highest-paid singing comedienne.

This solo show crafted by ASCAP award-winning writer Chip Deffaa features songs Brice made famous, from Second-Hand Rose to My Man. Mr. Deffaa writes
"Very happy that my show One Night with Fanny Brice is coming back to New York, with the terrific Mary Johnson portraying the original Funny Girl. At the 13th Street Theater, opening night: April 22nd. Sharon A Wilcox is directing; costumes are by Renee Casadaban Purdy; music direction is by Richard Danley. Hope to see some of my friends there!"

Directed by Sharon A. WIlcox
Musical Direction by Richard Danley

One Night with Fanny Brice is a “charming new musical. . . Deffaa has distilled Fanny Brice’s busy life and career into a well-paced two-hour show.”
- The Associated Press

This show "delves deeper into Brice's story than Funny Girl ever did"
- The New York Times.

I found myself spellbound by Brice’s life story and got taken up in the emotion that Johnson was able to portray during the many low points therein.
- Nancy Sasso Janis, Naugatuck Patch

Costumer Renee Purdey is "excited to have this great show back onstage....from Phoenix Stage Co in Naugatuck...to off Broadway at St. Luke's ....and back to the city with the original Phoenix cast, director and design team....I am so happy to be costuming Mary Johnson for her NY run!"
