| The question mark about Feldstein is her singing. We all knew Streisand had a great voice when she went into Funny Girl but I am not going into this revival thinking Feldstein will dazzle us with her voice. She will probably be funny, though. I do love the score for Funny Girl and don’t really think the book is a disaster. I am hoping there will be an alternate for matinees whom I can see. |

| you are 100% correct to worry about her singing. those in theater circles are already saying that she's known as a "mixer" not a belter. that doesn't sound too promising for these songs. and unlike an earlier poster, i thought that the London revival was dreadful. sure, it's nice for fans of the show and score to hear and see it back on stage after so long, but without that Streisand magic, it's pretty flat. and unfortunately, whether it's fair or not, everyone always makes comparisons to Streisand. I don't think the recent teaser trailer did Beanie any favours either. All that said, of course I'd love to be wrong and for it to be fan-tas-tic... |

| Honestly curious as to what you found "dreadful" about the recent London production. Also curious if you saw it at the MCF, the Savoy or the filmed version? | |
