Hey everyone, just wanted to brag a little and share my excitement... I was recently cast as Fanny Brice in a local production of Funny Girl and the local press gave our opening weekend glowing reviews!
"Speaking of voices, the main star of this piece Fanny Brice, or to her friends here in town Chantelle Constable, surely pushes herself to the limit having to not only act but sing and dance as well. She clearly earns her respect for such a daunting role. She certainly captures the very soul and being of Fanny with her amusing antics and fantastic funny charms and will most surely sing and dance her way into your heart. When I asked the director what sets this Fanny apart from the Broadway version he said, “In this production they will be sticking very closely to the Broadway version however Chantelle isn’t Barbra Streisand and with that comes a sincerity of the character. The audience can really see her as being this character Fanny Brice and won’t be swayed by the fact that they are seeing a famous actor play a character. Chantelle even before auditioning for this role, was a fan of this musical and had committed every line and song to heart.” To say she was a natural for this part is an understatement." - The Hype Weekly
"As Fanny, Chantelle Constable is unsinkably, unstoppably splendid. Like Brice herself, who reputedly became "Baby Snooks" when playing that signature role, Constable inhabits her character's persona. Every line, every move, every note, she's there lighting it up." - Manhattan Mercury
And finally, here is a delightful, poised and professional photo of myself, my leading man (center), and the leading man's younger brother, who has a small role in the show...
There are a couple more images on my website, and I hope to have a couple video clips by the end of the run. Thanks for being interested enough to read my post all the way through!
