The semi-biographical plot is based on the life and career of Broadway star, film actress and comedian Fanny Brice featuring her stormy relationship with entrepreneur and gambler Nick Arnstein, its original title was My Man. The musical was produced by Ray Stark, Brice's son-in-law via his marriage to her daughter Frances, starred Barbra Streisand; the production was nominated for eight Tony Awards but, facing tough competition from Hello, Dolly!, it failed to win in any categories. The original cast recording of Funny Girl was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2004; the musical is set in and around New York City just prior to and following World War I. Ziegfeld Follies star Fanny Brice, awaiting the return of her husband, Nicky Arnstein, from prison, reflects on their life together, their story is told as a flashback. Fanny is a stage-struck teen, her mother and her friend Mrs. Strakosh try to dissuade her from show business because Fanny is not the typical beauty.

But Fanny perseveres and is helped and encouraged by Eddie Ryan, a dancer she meets in the vaudeville shows. Once Fanny's career takes off and Mrs. Brice lament that once she's on Broadway she'll forget about them. Fanny performs a romantic number in the Follies, but she turns it into a classic comic routine, ending the number as a pregnant bride, she meets the sophisticated and handsome Nick Arnstein, who accompanies Fanny to her mother's opening night party on "Henry Street". Fanny is falling in love with Nick, while acknowledging their complex vulnerabilities, they meet in Baltimore and have a private dinner at a swanky restaurant and declare their feelings. Fanny is determined to marry Nick, regardless of his gambling past, they do move to a mansion on Long Island. In the meantime, Mrs. Strakosh and Eddie suggest to Miss. Brice that she should find a man to marry, now that her daughter is supporting her. Fanny has become a major star with the Ziegfeld Follies. Nick asks Ziegfeld to invest in a gambling casino, but although Ziegfeld passes, Fanny insists on investing.

When the venture fails and they lose their money, Fanny tries to make light of it, which propels Nick to get involved in a shady bond deal, resulting in his arrest for embezzlement. Fanny feels helpless but stronger than in her love for him. In the present, Fanny has time to reflect on her situation. Nick arrives, newly released from prison, he and Fanny decide to separate, she is resolves to pick up her life again. Ray Stark had commissioned an authorized biography of Brice, based on taped recollections she had dictated, but was unhappy with the result, it cost him $50,000 to stop publication of The Fabulous Fanny, as it had been titled by the author. Stark turned to Ben Hecht to write the screenplay for a biopic, but neither Hecht nor the ten writers who succeeded him were able to produce a version that satisfied Stark. Isobel Lennart submitted My Man, which pleased both Stark and Columbia Pictures executives, who offered Stark $400,000 plus a percentage of the gross for the property. After reading the screenplay, Mary Martin contacted Stark and proposed it be adapted for a stage musical.

Stark discussed the possibility with producer David Merrick, who suggested Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim compose the score. Sondheim told Styne, "I don't want to do the life of Fanny Brice with Mary Martin. She's not Jewish. You need someone ethnic for the part." Shortly after, Martin backed out. Merrick discussed the project with Jerome Robbins, she agreed to play Brice. Merrick suggested Styne collaborate with Dorothy Fields, he went to Palm Beach, Florida for a month and composed music he thought Bancroft would be able to sing. While he was there, he met Bob Merrill, he played the five melodies he had written for him. Merrill agreed to write lyrics for them. Styne was happy with the results and the two men completed the rest of the score flew to Los Angeles to play it for Stark and Bancroft, at odds with Merrill because of an earlier personal conflict, she listened to the score stated, "I want no part of this. It's not for me."With Bancroft out of the picture, Eydie Gormé was considered, but she agreed to play Brice only if her husband Steve Lawrence was cast as Nick Arnstein.

Since they thought he was wrong for the role and Robbins approached Carol Burnett, who said, "I'd love to do it but what you need is a Jewish girl." With options running out, Styne thought Barbra Streisand, whom he remembered from I Can Get It for You Wholesale, would be perfect. She was performing at the Bon Soir in Greenwich Village and Styne urged Robbins to see her, he asked her to audition. Styne recalled, "She looked awful... All her clothes were out of thrift shops. I saw Fran Stark staring at her, obvious distaste on her face." Despite his wife's objections, Stark hired Streisand on the spot. Robbins had an argument with Lennart and told Stark he wanted her replaced because he thought she was not capable of adapting her screenplay into a viable book for a stage musical. Stark refused and Rob

The Church of Our Lady and St Michael, Monmouthshire is a Roman Catholic parish church. Built between 1858–60, the architect was Benjamin Bucknall, it is a Grade II* listed building. Abergavenny remained a Catholic stronghold in the years after the Reformation and its first Catholic church was built on Frogmore Street; this was replaced as the town's main Catholic church by Our Lady and St Michael's in 1860. The construction of the church was funded by a local solicitor, John Baker Gabb, the architect was Benjamin Bucknall. Bucknall was engaged on the building of Woodchester Mansion, Gloucestershire for another Catholic client, William Leigh, aged only 25, was seen as a coming man in Catholic architectural circles. Bucknall's intellectual and architectural influences were the work and ideas of Augustus Pugin, he converted to Catholicism in the year of Pugin's death, the French Gothic Revival architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, with whom Bucknall was in regular correspondence; the church is constructed with an accompanying Tudor Gothic presbytery.

Built of Old Red Sandstone, with Bath Stone dressings and slate roofs, the church comprises a nave and South aisles and a chancel. An intended "grand tower and spire" were never built. Simon Jenkins describes the church as "a bold composition of church and presbytery." The interior of the church is unchanged since its construction with all of its original Victorian furniture and furnishings intact. The presbytery is unspoilt; the church has "an exceptionally fine collection of medieval and vestments". Jenkins, Simon. Wales: Churches, Castles. London: Penguin. ISBN 978-0-713-99893-1.
