[Act II opens with the newly wed Fanny and Nick arriving at their home in Long Island. Fanny's friends have prepared a surprise party for them. Ziegfeld is there, hoping Fanny will be in his new show; he's even hired her friend Eddie as dance director. Fanny's Ziegfeld friends ask her what it's like be married and she replies:]

Fanny:
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Bow when I go by
I'm a corporation now
Not me, myself and I
Oh how that marriage license works
On chambermaids and hotel clerks
The honeymoon was such delight
That we got married that same night
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Still in bed at noon
Racking my brain deciding
Between orange juice and prune
Nick says nothing is too good for me
And who am I not to agree?
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that's me!
All:
She's Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Fanny:
Meet a mortgagee
All:
The owner of an icebox
Fanny:
With a ten-year guarantee
Oh, sit me in the softest seat
Quick, a cushion for my feet
Do for me, buy for me, lift me, carry me
Finally got a guy to marry me!
I do my nails

Read up on sales
All day the records play
Then he comes home, I tell him
Oy--what a day I had today!
I swear I'll do my wifely job
Just sit at home--become a slob!
I'm Sadie, Sadie, married lady, that's me!
All:
She's Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Boys:
Sadie, you did the trick
Fanny:
It's nothing!
Girls:
Not ev'ry girl can get herself
A guy who looks like nick
Fanny:
Wait, to tell the truth, it hurt my pride--
The groom was prettier than the bride
All:
Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Fanny:
Husband, house, a mortgage, a baby
All:
Sadie, Sadie, married lady
Fanny:
That's who?
All:
That's you
Fanny:
That's me--married lady
All:
Say hello to Ziegfeld's married lady--Sadie!

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
