You Are Woman, I Am Man - FUNNY GIRL (Original Australian Cast - Jill Perryman & Bruce Barry)

[@randyseay4855]

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.

[@chrisn7259]

This resembles a crude comedy scene from early television.

[@micheleburdetteelmore2162]

Yeah, this was so one level.

[@barbaraarnstein179]

A new and hilarious approach! I approve!

[@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

[@joshdrayton1230]

Streisand managed to be funny, sexy, vulnerable, calculating and charismatic in this scene - none of which Perryman manages. BS also managed to make the sometimes contrived, at times clunky dialogue seem utterly natural and believable. By contrast Perryman is entirely without charm and even manages to kill most of the jokes. It's astonishing that she had a reasonably long and successful theatre career, partly on the strength of this starring role.

[@broadbent2001]

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

[@beaellie9766]

Is he wearing a wedding ring?

[@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.

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

[@wimsminia9527]

FABULOUS !!!!

[@MrQbenDanny]

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

[@anthonyginther6883]

Mugging.....this is horrible

[@K.RobertRichardson]

In a pinch, the flamer they have playing Paul would have pulled off Arnstein better than Jill Perryman did as Fanny.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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).

[@nevenali7593]

Barbra Streisand and Omar Sheriff did it better!😂
