Who, you ask? Maybe one of these folks!

Barbra Streisand was 22 when she was cast in

Funny Girl,

playing a young Fanny Brice

(well, a slightly fictionalized Fanny, but...).

Music, Jule Styne, Lyrics, Bob Merrill.

The show was produced by Ray Stark,

Fanny's son-in-law,

and opened on Broadway in 1964,

despite 3 changes of director

(Gower Champion, who quit, then Bob Fosse, who quit,

and then finally, Garson Kanin,

who Babs wanted fired).

The part of Fanny was first offered to 

Anne Bancroft, then Eydie Gorme, then Carol Burnett.

Despite Jule Styne's objections,

Ray Stark hired Babs,

who he had seen in I Can Get It For You Wholesale.

Eight Tony noms altogether,

but Hello, Dolly! scooped 'em all!

Above Danny Meehan, Babs, and Kay Medford.

Kay played Fanny's mother...

and below a pic of a young Kay. Wowsers!

We'll hear 2 Whos from this show:

"Who Are You Now?" and "Who Taught Her Everything?"

Who Can He Turn To?

Anthony Newley and Cyril Ritchard, above, in

The Roar Of The Grease Pain, The Smell Of The Crowd.

With music by Anthony and Leslie Bricusse,

it opened in London ALSO in 1964!

It sailed across the big blue thing to Broadway

the very next year,

where it was nominated for several awards,

including Best Musical...

but again Dolly got her way with Tony!

Anthony and Leslie also penned the score for

Stop The World - I Want To Get Off,  Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,

and several songs of note,

like "Feeling Good", and the theme song for Goldfinger.

Anthony's performance history

included acting, singing and songwriting for 

radio, films, Broadway, the West End,

and television appearances.

He passed away at the age of 67.

With Cyril Ritchard in the Broadway production of Roar!

Bob Fosse cast Roy Scheider to play Joe Gideon

in All That Jazz, 1979.

The movie was supposedly inspired by Fosse's attempt

to complete his film Lenny,

and simultaneously direct and choreograph the musical Chicago.

Let's talk stress.

No, Scheider wasn't a dancer,

but his portrayal of the Fosse-like character 

was spot on. 

Said Vincent Canby of the NYTimes:

"A key to the success of the production

 is the performance of Roy Scheider as Joe Gideon... 

With an actor of less weight and intensity, 

All That Jazz might have evaporated as we watched it."

See where stress can lead?

Also starring:
Leland Palmer, Erzsebet Foldi, and Ann Reinking, below.

We'll hear that trio sing to Joe...

"Who's Sorry Now?"

Judy Garland in Till The Clouds Roll By,

above and below,

will have another WHO for us on Sunday:

"Who (Stole My Heart My Heart Away)?"

It was written back in 1925

by Jerome Kern, Otto Harbach and Oscar Hammerstein

...then placed in the musical Sunny, come 1930.

A third resuscitation came in 1946

with the MGM movie, (almost) based on the life of Jerome Kern.
