Last-minute corrections were made and costumes were fixed. Lines were rehearsed and songs were hummed. Junior Lynda Doctoroff walked onto the stage for the opening scene in the spring musical, Funny Girl. Funny Girl is a rags to riches story of a poor girl who is determined to star in Mr. Ziegfeld's Follies. Fanny is discovered by Nick Arnstein, senior John Kiningham, and put into Mr. Ziegfeld's Follies. After many shows, Fanny soon lets her stardom go to her head, and a drastic change is seen in both Nick and Fanny. Nick starts out as being famous, rich, and most eligible man around. Now that Fanny has gained her stardom, she acts totally different with Nick. I think the show we chose showed off the talents of our students nicely, Mr. Koczergo, director. If you missed this show you really missed something, said Kiningham. For my final show at Homestead, I thought it was one of the best musicals at Homestead, he added. When you're on stage you're in another world, you can bring out your inner self and not worry about what people think, said junior Phil Waldorf. Opening night went exceptionally well, commented sophomore Matt Butzow, who played Florenz Ziegfeld. After the opening night of the musical, most of the actors and actresses were prepared for three more nights of perfomiing before the end of the musical. D By Christine Schleeter
