It will be replaced by the TUTS premiere of "FUNNY GIRL," the 1964 Broadway smash-hit that made a star of a little-known Barbra Streisand. The dates of "Funny Girl" will be exactly the same as for "Baby Jane, " July 10-22, at Wortham Center. "Funny Girl," which was later made into a movie for which Streisand won an Academy Award, tells the story of the legendary comedienne, Fanny Brice. Star of saloons, burlesque, vaudeville, movies, radio, and the Ziegfeld Follies, Brice had a tumultuous relationship with the gambler Nicky Arnstein. Their star-crossed love story and Fanny's rise to stardom are the basis of the musical. With book by Isobel Lennart and a classic score by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill, "Funny Girl" boasts such popular songs as "People," "Don't Rain On My Parade," and "I'm the Greatest Star." Bruce Lumpkin, who recently staged TUTS' acclaimed "Miss Saigon," will direct and choreograph. According to TUTS President/CEO Frank Young, "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" is being delayed for six months because of design problems. "A new work is always in the process of development through many stages," said Young. "At any point in the creative process, one or more elements may cause a delay. The creators and I firmly believe that a few more months of development are needed to put the show into its final, audience-ready form."
