Brava @juliebenko! You are an understudy who kept a Broadway Show going particularly when the leads could not perform for one year! Take another bow and then some!

Went to see her when announced Beanie Feldstein was going to a wedding. Saw her in Les Miserables and knew she would nail it. Her reward is to star in Harmony this fall

May her bright star rise higher and higher. She literally kept this show on the boards through the transition.

Julie Benko was the best thing that ever happened to this revival.

i'm so happy for her she truly is a Broadway dream come true. I saw her early on and I just thought she truly was Fanny Brice, but she also made the role uniquely her own and it was just so wonderful to see yand I'm so glad I was able to tell her that as well.

I don't know her but I'm so proud of her. She made history.

I saw all three Fannies, and I thought Julie Benko was the best one. She's the one I felt luckiest to see.

You can tell the cast liked Julie better than Lea.

Fanny Brice would have been Proud.
