Some Broadway musicals become famous as the launching pads for certain performers, such as Carol Burnett when she starred in Once Upon a Mattress.
But leading the pack in that category is the show Funny Girl, a promising but unspectacular show that happened to drop Barbra Streisand into the title role. The rest is history, as they say.
In this touring version directed by Michael Mayer, the lead role is taken by Katerina McCrimmon, a young woman with powerfully prestigious pipes that do justice to songs such as"People" and"Don't Rain on My Parade." While she doesn't look or sound like the original, she's talented enough to allow one to focus on the show itself.
After an awkward first appearance on stage, Fanny soon gets the idea to make fun of herself. She is soon knocking them dead, either by herself or as the floundering fly in the ointment of large production numbers such as a lovely butterfly dance routine. McCrimmon does her best with these moments, but she ultimately doesn't take enough risks to make her those bits actually take off comedically.
