@@mar-b5k2f It would sound terrible if she did. This is a live performance without perks of enclosed theater space. The glee version is quite honestly impossible to replicate live, specially the pacing. Lea has monstrous vocals and impressive breathing technique, but even that is not enough.
This is a very safe version, with much smaller variations that the version she did on Glee. It's not as flamboyant, but safer to pull when singing live without a chance to have it edited.
I saw it live. Packed theatre. She was amazing. Strong acting, great comedy chops, and incredible singing. The rest of the production is also excellent. I counted at least three standing ovations.
@@camerond7654 I saw it with lea Michele live too and yes they were applauding her in the middle of the song- many people couldnt even contain themselves they were so overhwhelmed with such a great song and performance. it was packed - no empty seats in the entire theatre and bedlam afterwards at the stage door with police and barricades- like the prepandemic old days with a big star in the cast- very exciting- real broadway experience
Please don’t get me wrong, I absolutely freaking loved her in glee TBH. She was the only reason I even watched the show, but this is a whole Nother freaking level. Absolutely freaking amazing.
OMG you're right! Who would've thought that a singer's voice, management, and ability change over the years? Like, that is NOT the natural course of life
This person is a homophobic, racist, horrible person! So she can sing. Does that erase all the HORRIFIC things she has done to people over the years! WHY DOES SHE GET A PASS???
if living a dream means walking all over everyone to get what you think you want, then, yeah, she's living the dream ...

Well, the actress that originated the role back in 1964 wasn't known for being the easiest person to work with, but she was able to take the role and make it hers for 50+ years. Glad to see Lea Michelle has a voice and talent worthy of leading the first Broadway revival of the show since the original closed in the mid-60s.
The "difficult" label is an incorrect very unfair archetype that some will attach to women who are perfectionist regarding their work. Reminds me of a Barbra Streisand documentary from many years ago. She was fighting with a music producer because he'd removed a small segment of music from a song that she'd written. The conflict was about her standards and the integrity of her work. Ofcourse, the correction was made.
@@kimcoates7569 Many people have spoken out against Lea. What you said is just an excuse people use when they don't want to admit that a woman can be difficult. In most cases it is perfectionism but there are some women that can just be horrible people.
OMG exactly what I thought! So annoyed that it was hard to hear her amazing voice finishing the song because people just couldn’t wait a few seconds more to clap!! 🙃
She always sounded great singing this song since 2010, and having the control back at 25. But hearing her sing it in the context of the show is so nuanced, and so mature and very well done. She’s fully grown.
I had the pleasure of seeing her perform the show from the front row. To watch her sing these iconic songs in that pitch perfect voice was one of the best experiences that I've ever had in a Broadway theatre. Queen Lea is truly amazing. Plus, she even was signing programs at the stage door. If you love her, please try to get to NYC to see this show. I can't wait to get back to see it again.
People can hate her but there’s no denying she’s talented. Also the fact that she’s doing the tv performances which they didn’t have with Beanie means more ticket sales. This was a good financial decision.
They didn't make Beanie sing on tv for a reason. Singing on tv is the most difficult thing : if you have any flaw, they will be exposed. Because in a show, there is the reverb of the room who will cover up flaws. On a recording, they will do it as many times as they can to have it perfect. They, they had reverb, eq, compressor. etc. But on tv, the sound is live and dry in your home. Imagine the catastrophe it would have been to hear Beanie's voice on show like this! It hurts just to think about it.
That was incredible. Her voice has matured so much from "Glee" (where she was already extraordinary and the best vocalist on that show) and this was a powerhouse performance.
@@gottalovetheinternet You are truly disgusting for basically blaming her for Cory Monteith death. He was an addict who died of an accidental overdose. She bullied people a decade ago, people change.
@@okayimbackwhateverjones You are so funny, but correct !! She just has always thought way too much of herself !! She most definitely is No B. Streisand !!
@@ms.martiegallego8834 What a ridiculous thing to say. Of course nobody is Barbara.. but Lea's great at this material, probably the best since. Calm it down.
@@Malicia-scunt yeah, tell that to theatre critics and experts. By your other comentaries here, you clearly hate lea michele, that's up to you, but like anyone with a brain has said before, her talent in musical theatre is undeniable.
She makes it look soooo easy! I've actually sing the first 8 lines of this for a show in front of 3000 in China back in 2013- most terrifying experience of my life!!
@@gomesbandrey Don't want to start a fight but I've heard both of them live and although Idina is great, Lea can do some things with her voice that Idina can't. Will still go to see both of them live whenever they appear.
the subtle nod to barbra growl at the end of, "...baaannnd OUT!" gets me every time. and yes, very nice to finally hear this and not feel like i'm at a lea michele concert.
Grown up watching the movie version from Barbra Streisands and I must say, I wished I could be in NYC to watch her on Broadway. She killed it and the best redition by far, other than... you know who! Love from Singapore!
Girlfriend has it 👏👏 there’s something so so special about this role, this song and her all together ❤ my personal opinion of her aside, sheesh, this was amazing! I wish the whole company a great, long, successful run! Hope I get to see this live! She’s really something amazing 👌
Despite the backlash that she got for her behavior on Glee, Girl has got some chops and a diaphragm to match. I'm so glad that she is living out her and Rachel Barry's dream.
Wow… she’s mesmerizing. Her beauty and talent is indeniable! What a performance!!! She nailed it like it was nothing. I had tears all over my eyes and thought how much Cory Monteith would be proud of her up there. It’s like this song was made for Lea Michele to sing it forever ♥️ well done Madam👏🏼
I agree. I'm kind of upset they opened when they did. They should have waited until Lea was ready. I know Beanie's dad had something to do with it, but you have to have the best person for the job doing it from the jump. It would have been much better if they waited imo.
@@beckyruelle6080 What do you mean by "Beanie's dad had something to do with it"? I saw someone say they tried to look into this but couldn't find anything. They proposed that people might have confused her with Ben Platt whose dad is a producer. Could you help clear that up for me?
@@jer9grant beanie’s dad is an entertainment business manager/executive or something iirc? but yeah the producer is ben platt’s dad. edit: never actually read about beanie getting the role with dad’s help either, so i can’t help you with that one. sorry 😞
If ever there was a show that MUST have a cast recording, it's this one! THIS score, THIS cast - amazing! Would be an absolute crime if this wasn't saved for all time.
Wow I got goosebumps. I remember hearing this for the first time on Glee and it’s so cool to hear her take on it now. Those stable vocals are pure perfection??? I love it!
This was my lover's favorite song of all time. Especially the flowers. By the time Fanny gets to Nick all that is left is a few petals and a bunch of sticks. He passed from a stroke 4 years ago. Everytime I see or hear this song I break down and bawl. But each time it is less intense. The pain of him passing is less intense but the sorrow is still there. Thank You Lea for dowing such a great job. Break a leg.
I'm so glad to hear this is sung differently compared to when she sang it on Glee. She sounded great in both, but I'm just glad to hear it's not a recycled performance! Great for her!
I was OBSESSED with Lea during Glee’s original run, she still has my heart though. I love how even more mature her voice is from Glee back to Bway. NOBODY can do this role but her, except Babs of course. So proud of my queen and it’s wonderful to see Leanatics new and old embracing her. I HAVE to see her on Broadway before she finishes her run 😩 but I ain’t trying to pay a stack to see my baby!
Look, she may be a good or a terrible person, but there's something kind of magical about the combination of Lea Michele's talent and knowing that this role is her dream role and she gets to it and nails it!
Lea nació para estar en ese rol, es increíble la manera en que interpreta esta joya de canción, es difícil olvidar a una maestra como Barbra pero sin dudas ella le rinde honores ❤️
Hats off to the costume designer for this revival. The costumes are SO CRISP. Especially Lea's. It shouldn't be a surprise, though, since Susan Hilferty worked on Wicked. If I'm not mistaken she designed the Act 2 Elphaba dress (et al). Which I don't even have to mention the cool parallel of her being dressed by the woman who dressed Idina Menzel, her tv mom.
Omg I saw Funny Girl on Tuesday and Lea Michele was EVERYTHING! Seriously the best performance I’ve seen in my life. If you have the opportunity to see this, do it! You will not regret it! Amazing!!!!
I am a 70 year old Greek. Lea today is a better technician. She was absolutely brilliant. I have been cautious about attending shows with COVID still quite active. Lea, I have to see your total performance. Streisand will always be my favorite, but Lea is my new favorite for this role.
Wow she sang this way more clear than on glee... i didn't think anyone could improve at that level she was at but then again that was like 10 years ago? Of course she improved
Não me canso de assistir os vídeos com as suas apresentações de Funny Girl! É extraordinário ver o sonho de alguém se tornando real diante dos nossos olhos. Lea é uma estrela e das mais brilhantes!🌟❤️❤️
I appreciate that she didn’t do a copy of her Glee performance (which was in many ways a copy of Streisand’s iconic take) and that she chose to change it up.
My sister saw her live too. Her husband bought her tickets for her bday. She loved seeing Leah Michelle so much that she bought me tickets to see her ! Looking forward to watching her !
She has a lot more control over this song now. love it.
It's insane.
Comparing this to her tony performance??? Amazing
And singing this at 8 am in the morning!
Omg was thinking the same sooo different
season 3 of Glee she started having more control of her voice generally. You can say she was coached. All her extra, unnecessary breathiness are gone.
I appreciate that she performed it much differently than she did on Glee. It gives it a very different vibe.
I kinda wish she didn't
