In which musical did Barbra Streisand sing the song 'Second Hand Rose'?

Barbra Streisand famously performed the song 'Second Hand Rose' in the 1968 film adaptation of the musical Funny Girl. While the song is strongly associated with Streisand's iconic portrayal of Fanny Brice, it's an interesting piece of trivia that 'Second Hand Rose' was not actually part of the original 1964 Broadway stage production of Funny Girl. It was specifically added for the movie version, capitalizing on Streisand's immense popularity and her previous successful recording of the tune.

The song itself has a rich history, predating Funny Girl by several decades. 'Second Hand Rose' was a popular vaudeville number from 1921, written by Grant Clarke and James F. Hanley, and was indeed one of the signature songs of the real Fanny Brice. The lyrics humorously depict a young woman whose life is filled with hand-me-down items from her father's second-hand store, leading her to feel like a "Second Hand Rose" in every aspect, even in love. This comedic and slightly melancholic undertone perfectly suited Brice's stage persona.

Streisand, who had already achieved stardom with her Broadway performance as Brice, recorded her own rendition of 'Second Hand Rose' for her 1965 album "My Name (Review) Is Barbra, Two...". This recording became an international hit, reaching high positions on the charts in the US, UK, and Australia. Due to the immense success and public association of Streisand with the song, it was a natural choice to include it in the film adaptation of Funny Girl, further cementing its place in musical history and making it an unforgettable part of Streisand's legacy.
