Performer in ‘Funny Girl’ speaks ahead of Tuesday’s opening night for RBTL
ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Rochester Broadway Theatre League’s season continues with the acclaimed musical comedy “Funny Girl”, which opens on Tuesday night at the West Herr Auditorium Theatre.
Described as a love letter to the theatre, “Funny Girl” is an underdog story about Fanny Brice – a young girl from New York City who dreams of beating the odds and becoming a star. Izaiah Montaque Harris plays Fanny’s tap dancing best friend, Eddie. He talked about touring 50 cities with the company of “Funny Girl.”
“We are a company of love and I could cry thinking about it because we just really try to make every single night new, and every single night special. Because a lot of us, for a lot of us, this is either our first time touring or our first time in this big role,” Harris said.
