"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 :-)
