- Lea Michele sits down with Broadway.com Editor-in-Chief Paul Wontorek to talk about returning to the stage in FUNNY GIRL and how her GLEE and SPRING AWAKENING days led her to the role she was born to play.
She was born for this! I love that she talks about her life experiences and how she uses those to create "her" Fanny. Sure wish I could see this! Lea Michelle is a gem
she was absolutely amazing!
I saw her in Spring Awakening in 2008. She is an amazing performer.
I hope they make Funny Girl into a film adaptation, and let Lea Michele to reprise her role again
As much as I adore Lea and am beyond thrilled that she's finally doing it on Broadway, I pray no one gets that crazy idea in their head! A remake of the original would be like remaking The Wizard of Oz, Gone with the Wind or the Godfather. Some films/actors can't be redone or replaced!
Lea Michele playing Fanny is the most Rachel thing ever.
I love how Lea's character in Glee was also in Funny Girl, playing Fanny Brice
She is fucking TALENTED and deserves it 👏👏👏👏
She is literally living her dream. I love her passion for performance and for this role. God bless her.
What an eloquent and thoughtful interview
Love her, love this show!!!❤
Saw the show just two s days ago. She was superb!!
Lea is funny girl, she’s perfect for this.
It is spelled SUCCESS and pronounced Lea Michele ⭐
I would give anything to see Lea Michele in Funny Girl. She is beyond talented. I wish her the very best.
Just read the NY TImes review; well done Lea!!!!!!!!
Good interview. Broadens my respect for Lea M.
She’s really matured a lot which is great to see
Je suis très heureuse pour elle !!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
It’s so sad that I can’t see her :(
We are rooting for you Lea!
That’s a funny girl
Lea ❤
lea michele embraces fanny in a way no one has before. reminding us she is a 3rd grade drop out but not a dummy and her vunerability is exceptional.
From an almost dead show to a hit with 1.6M ticket sales and 100％ cap… Funny Girl found her Fanny and is rising from ashes… yes
Love this! ❤
I love Lea Michele!
Cory would’ve been very proud😢❤
Queen
genuine question - how does someone get 6 standing ovations? I've been to lots of broadway shows, but generally have only experienced one long standing ovation for the entire cast + crew. I suppose my question is, what counts as one unit of standing ovation?
Standing up and clapping after each song haha.
@@Laurap01 Thank you!!
Lea we love uuuuuuu!!!!
I guess Rachel got her wish…
AS SHE SHOULD! 👏🏻
well, she ALMOST thanked the cast for being amazing and doing extra work. it was right there in her grasp, and she couldn't do it.
Grasping at straws…
@@Laurap01 Talent doesn't excuse racism, bigotry and an inflated ego.
Elizabeth Fromm at this point, people like you are hopeless lol.
keep crying LMAO
FFS stop.
oooo
She was Not born for this, BARBRA STREISAND WAS !! Get it right !!
Yes it was Barbra But she is 80 and now its Lea at 36.
And they cancel Phantom for this!!? Uhhh this whole year just sucks
That's... not what happened.
Girl what 💀 they didn’t cancel phantom because of funny girl
I’m sorry they canceled Phantom…one of my favs. Funny Girl is such an amazing story/show, as well. I’m glad that it’s on Broadway. I don’t believe that the cancellation of Phantom has anything to do with Funny Girl
...phantom was at a different theater. unfortunately, that has nothing to do with this.
completely different cases, dude
Hard pass, every time.
close the door behind you :)
lol imagine having the privilege that you could rehearse completely separate from the cast and just be put in right before going into your first performance- and also being far less suited for the role than the understudies. Idk… we all gotta get a paycheck!
this comment makes zero sense.
How is that a privilege? Do you know how hard it is to lead a show without rehearsing with the cast and make it work?
And how is she less suited to the role than Julie and the other girl? LMAO. Reviews say otherwise. Audience reactions say otherwise. Julie was averaging $600k before Lea came on and it shot up to $1.6 million the week she started.
@@SHap-gx1lq how does it not make sense? Lea rehearsed completely separately from the cast and was plugged in. What part of what I wrote was confusing?
@@ToySoldiers of course sales shot up - that’s why they put her in. Recoup the money. Sales aren’t a reflection of quality - I mean it’s not a good show anyway and didn’t need to be revived. My comment wasn’t a reflection on her talent anyway. As for the put-in, I’m not saying what she had to do wasn’t hard, I’m saying it’s super privileged to have people work around you in that way. They kept her rehearsals separate for multiple reasons, one of which being that she is difficult to work with and has a reputation for bullying other performers and crew.
That's not a privilege lol. It's pretty much standard practice for new cast members to rehearse separately because producers don't want to pay for the whole cast's rehearsal time.
If the producers paid for a full rehearsal with the cast, that would be a privilege.
Eurgh.
