FANNY BRICE, the popular comedian and singer who reigned supreme in "The Roaring 20's" returns to earth to reveal fact from fiction in the show "FUNNY GIRL" which was based on her life. As 'Fanny', Betty Comora shares anecdotes about her childhood, her marriages and her career. The 'ups and downs' of her life are interspersed with several songs - including "Second Hand Rose" and "My Man".
You'll laugh, shed a tear and share Fanny's philosophy -- 'If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain'.
Betty wrote this one hour production which is self contained and appropriate for house parties, community groups and fundraisers. Road Scholar groups in Sarasota have asked for a return engagement of "Fanny Brice Tells All".
Details of a New Jersey performance in March, 2012 at an Art Gallery in Boonton will be posted shortly
