Unfunny, Girl is a chaotic, campy, and questionably legal musical parody that shines a spotlight on the Funny Girl revival saga - because sometimes, the backstage drama is the real show. A hybrid of cabaret, fever dream, and spectacle well on its way to becoming a full-blown pop musical, the show features a parade of powerhouse Leas, a brigade of Beanies, and one lone Julie Benko navigating the casting circus that had theatre Twitter in a chokehold. Add in the Ghost of Barbra Streisand (because of course), a power-tripping producer, and two narrators just trying to make sense of it all - and you’ve got a night of Broadway’s messiest moments set to a killer playlist of 90s/2000s pop and iconic musical theatre anthems.

It’s part love letter, part roast, and entirely off-the-rails - a deep dive into diva showdowns, viral moments, and what it really means to be the greatest star. Expect Broadway easter eggs, belted accusations, unhinged directorial choices, and a plot that may or may not hold up in a court of law. All that, plus a whole lot of musical theatre justice for those who deserved better. Because in the end, isn’t Funny Girl really about who gets the last laugh?

From the chronically online mind of Ben Cole, and featuring the incredible talents of Sarah Ann Burke, Delaney Circe, Sarah Hack, Katie Hartel, Rachel Jarrard, Katie Jennison, Makallen Kelly, Erica Lloyd, London McKenna, Kayla Perry, Magda Roub, Golbanoo Setayesh, and Aliciona Strothers.
