Big Broadway news broke this morning announcing that appearing opposite Beanie Feldstein in this spring's first Broadway revival of Funny Girl will be Ramin Karimloo as Nick Arnstein. He joins newly announced cast members Emmy winner Jane Lynch as Fanny's mother Mrs. Rosie Brice and A Soldier's Play's Jared Grimes as Fanny's pal Eddie Ryan.
"Nicky Arnstein, Nicky Arnstein..." Sydney Chaplin originated the role of Nick Arnstein opposite Barbra Streisand in the original 1964 production. Omar Sharif brought Nick Arnstein to the big screen in the 1968 film with Barbra preserving her Tony Award nominated Broadway performance (which led to her Academy Award win for Fanny Brice).
In anticipation of Ramin's take on the dashing Nick Arnstein in this Broadway revival, let's have a look at six swoon-worthy tunes Ramin has performed.
"'Til I Hear You Sing" (Love Never Dies)
"It All Fades Away" (The Bridges of Madison County)
"If I Can't Love Her" (Beauty and the Beast)
"Why God Why" (Miss Saigon)
"I'd Give It All For You" (Songs For A New World)
"See Her Smile" (tick, tick... BOOM!)
