"Funny Girl was never meant to be an academic treatise on vaudeville music nor on Brice's life."

I think "academic treatise" is the operative phrase here. Of course the show is about Brice, despite the historical inaccuracies. And, of course, it's a Cinderella story at heart. Or sort of an ugly-ducking-becomes-a-swan story, which is maybe why they decided to include "Swan Lake" in the movie :-)

LOL, yeah I agree
Actually I suppose I consider the stage version to be an odd love story between an interesting woman and a not so interesting man.

The film, on the other hand, is a love story about the love of a talented actress for herself.

I realize the comment in my post is tacky but I will never forgive or forget what she did to "Prince of Tides".
