This perfectly illustrates something I and lots of others have often said- Funny Girl didn’t make Barbra, Barbra made Funny Girl. Without her this is what it can become.

This resembles a crude comedy scene from early television.

[@micheleburdetteelmore2162]

Yeah, this was so one level.

[@barbaraarnstein179]

A new and hilarious approach! I approve!

[@rosemaryharold8189]

Ms. Perryman’s performance is painful to see and hear - she plays the role as if she were a cut-rate version of Carol Burnett mugging through a satiric sketch on her old TV variety show. This can’t possibly be all Ms. Perryman’s fault; the Australian production’s director deserves much of the blame.

Is he wearing a wedding ring?

[@anthonyginther6883]

Mugging.....this is horrible

[@broadbent2001]

I am stunned this ran more than 5 performances. Yikes!

[@andyvictory950]

Ms. Perryman performance actually reminded me a lot to the fanny brice, so i think she is on point, but still no one can beat the Ms. Streisand in this role

[@curtisthomas7869]

I'm afraid this just doesn't work very well.

[@wimsminia9527]

FABULOUS !!!!

[@bobgarrett3367]

SO WRONG...Barbra got it right for so many reasons ..One o which is understanding that this is a love story & needs heat displayed. This is more broad Betty Hutton than Fanny Brice.He's on the right track Shes all wrong imo

[@MrQbenDanny]

I would have cast her instead as MARTHA in Edward Allbee's "Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf."

[@sunsetmist755]

I definitely laughed more at this then other Funny girls but I didn't feel any chemistry

[@michaelisennock8391]

A man recently released from prison would still pass on this Fanny. She's a shrew, a harpy and a harridan.

[@steveb1164]

Bruce Barry is wonderful here. As for Perryman...well, she looks too old and sounds way too loud and brassy to be Fanny, who was actually subdued and serious offstage (as Streisand is in the film version of this scene).

[@snarkyenigma9219]

This is the difference in Streisand, and all these knock offs ... as if any hunky dude would be pursuing this Mieskeit. I mean really.
