- Lea Michele's tenure as Fanny Brice began September 6 (the same day Tovah Feldshuh took over the role of Mrs. Brice) in a career full-circle moment. Currently sidelined by COVID, Michele is scheduled to return to the role of Fanny Brice at the August Wilson Theatre August 20.
A self-proclaimed "Streisand Worshiper," Funny Girl marks the first time Michele has returned to the Main Stem since the original Broadway production of Spring Awakening. “This is such a dream come true for me,” Michele shared with Playbill a few days before she tested positive for the coronavirus. “I love the show so much, but I loved this production so much from the minute I saw it back in March.” Watch the video above for the full interview with Michele and her co-stars Tovah Feldshuh, Ramin Karimloo, and Jared Grimes.
While starring on six seasons of Glee, Michele, or rather Rachel Berry, sang the musical's "Don't Rain On My Parade," "You Are Woman, I Am Man," "People," "I'm the Greatest Star," and "Who Are You Now," and a season five plot line for the character saw her playing the role on Broadway.
Funny Girl, which premiered on Broadway in 1964, features a score by Jule Styne and Bob Merrill and a book by Isobel Lennart, newly adapted by Tony winner Harvey Fierstein for this revival. The original production propelled a young Streisand to international fame; she would reprise her stage performance in the 1968 film adaptation, winning an Academy Award and a Golden Globe in the process. The biomusical tracks real-life singer and comic Fanny Brice from her humble beginnings in Brooklyn, New York, to fame and fortune onstage in the Ziegfeld Follies and as a radio and screen performer.
The production is directed by Michael Mayer with choreography by Ellenore Scott, tap choreography by Ayodele Casel, music supervision and direction by Michael Rafter, scenic design by David Zinn, costume design by Susan Hilferty, lighting design by Kevin Adams, sound design by Brian Ronan, and hair design by Campbell Young Associates. Casting is by Jim Carnahan and Jason Thinger. The production also includes orchestrations by Chris Walker; dance, vocal, and incidental music arrangements by Alan Williams; additional arrangements by Carmel Dean and David Dabbon; music coordination by Seymour Red Press and Kimberlee Wertz; and vocal supervision by Liz Caplan.
My goodness, Ramin Karimloo is gorgeous. 😅 Very happy for Lea and the rest of the cast! It sounds like an incredible show, I really hope to see it!
Just saw the show last night. It was terrific and Lea was amazing. Seems born for the role.
I’m getting the vibe that Lea Michele has indeed grown as a person since Glee, like we’d all hoped.
I hope so. Unfortunately for her, people will never forget her past nomatter how she is now.
i don't think so
@@catrionabruce3 well she has and if you don’t wanna see it well honey that’s on you.
@@chamallow989 I think she has and if people don’t wanna see her differently that’s their problem and not hers people need to let go of the past.
@@chamallow989 ..give it a rest. Lea saved this show, which is perhaps the most difficult role ever to be played on Broadway. People make mistakes, she's getting her second chance and we are all better for it.
What Lea was able to accomplish with Funny Girl is a TOUR DE FORCE!!!! Everyone said before she started that she couldn't save such a bad production. And yet, she proved everybody wrong. Based on her TALENT alone, she was able to breath excitement, sex appeal and reality into this flawed show. She saved the show, pure and simple. She's a miracle worker.
She sure did I saw her in it on Wednesday and she and the rest of the cast are amazing.
Perhaps the MOST difficult role to play on Broadway. Glad she made it her own and the critics were won over. Quite a triumph..!!
What do you mean by a bad and flawed production? I saw both Julie Benko and Lea Michelle performed. They’re both amazing and Funny Girl is easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen - but it’s also because the production was also great. The set, the lighting, the other actors and actresses, the choreography. I don’t think they’re bad at all. I love all aspects of the show (except maybe some noisy claps in the middle of a performance when Lea was singing lol).
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again she’s with the show needed. I mean, even Mr. Karimloo is saying that now his character actually has more to work with because of her.
Absolutely! The ONLY thing that is ticking me off is NOW that's she's basically rescued a critical FLOP and is making MILLIONS for the production, people like Jenna and Kevin and ESPECIALLY Ryan Murphy are coming out of the woodworks after letting her be labeled as a monster/racist knowing damn well she stayed on Glee to save people's jobs! I'm not excusing any bad behavior she may have had, but I am saying that there are too many NICE people in the industry who have spoken well about her kindness, hell even Naya Rivera said that they had patched things up and she thought Lea was a sweet girl. All of a sudden Jenna and Kevin are "inviting her" to their podcast and RM wants to revisit Glee. I'd tell them all to go kick rocks. I can't WAIT to see her for my b next month
I love lea so much and I’m so happy she’s well again and back on stage in funny girl and doing what she loves to do.
Lea is amazing. She’s grown so much and is honestly such an amazing person
lol no
yes!!
Go home, Lea.

Tovah Feldshuh seems so wise.
She was born in 1948 she’s been around the block
I'd love to hear that at some point the cast find out that Barbra Streisand has quietly shown up to see the show. It would be totally surreal.
Now the best cast and we are having recoding from them 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Perfect casting they are the best casting yasssss
Ramin looks so much like Omar Sharif and I love it
Did anyone else notice how Lee says it’s our show and she doesn’t make it all about her, whereas when beanie was in it, it was always Mimi, Mimi Mimi.
yes perfect casting...
Tovah Feldshuh is an absolute delight.
Tovah is 73y/o. Wow! Love her here and in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend!
Lee is absolutely freaking amazing.
I saw Funny Girl with Lea Wed evening and I ABSOLUTELY HATED peoples clapping during Lea's songs before the end. As a vocal student I want to hear every note she hits & savor it. Please people be patient and stop doing this !!!!
Tovah looks beautiful
Jared grimes is awesome ❤
"I've worked with some great fannies....."
Lea é maravilhosa.
First comment
A real.mug ...oye vey
IM SO HAPPY THE QUEEN IS GONE MY VIIDEO IS HILIARIOUS 😂😂
CARE TO ELABORATE?? 😰
weirdo
I'm so glad I saw Julie Benko in the show! I wouldn't pay 10 cents to see LM In anything! Julie deserves what the producers gave to Lea on a silver platter. Lea does NOT DESERVE her dream role. This is a disgusting case of toxic behaviors being rewarded by desperate and shady producers. I don't care what Lea sounds like when she sings-- she is egocentric, toxic, and disingenuous. For those who say Lea seems kind and humble and calm now, this video is a PRESS JUNKET. The cast is trying to sell and save the show, and Lea is doing PR "damage control" on herself. I feel terrible for everything the other cast members have endured these past few months.
I get what you are saying.... that's your opinion, which you are trying to shove down people's throats in you shouty comment.... Plenty of people disagree with you (& are buying tickets in droves). But if you detest LM so much, why are you looking at her videos ?? You are making yourself mentally ill, if you aren't that already.
wrote a whole essay for Lea Michele…you’re a whole fan dewey decimal 🤣
Julie does not sell tickets, Dewey. This is a business, not a charity.
why u even here. just leave urself and ur negativity
I think Julie plays the role on Thursdays now.
