| I have no idea if this is true, nor do I much care. But I find it odd that anyone would think that Lea Michelle would sell a lot of tickets. I don't think she would have during Glee, and that was many years ago. If I were producing the show I'd just roll with Benko. But whatever. If I get back to NY before the production closes I'll still probably miss it. Nothing I've heard or read really makes me want to see it. | |

| If this casting rumor turns out to be true, I bet Lea Michele will sing the hell out of ''Funny Girl'' and sell lotsa tickets. | |

| I’ve read tweets where people say they hate her and still want to buy tickets to see her. What do the producers do now? They’re still trying to sell Beanie for three more months but if they announce Lea, everybody will want to buy tix to see FG in the fall. I wonder what the new logo will look like. Plus, I think she should completely redesign the costumes for her. I was an understudy on Broadway many moons ago and the actor I understudied wore a tank top. The costume designer and I knew that was a bad idea for me and they completely designed a new costume for me. So if they can do it for an understudy, they can do it for a replacement. | |

| Thanks to streaming, ''Glee'' has never really gone away. It debuted on Fox in 2009, won a number of Emmys, and wrapped after 6 seasons in 2015. In 2019, Netflix picked up ''Glee,''' and it's been streaming there until Dec. 2021. ... On June 1, ''Glee'' began streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. The 2011 ''Glee' concert film also is streaming on Hulu. (And apparently, you can rent it or buy on Amazon Prime.) Frankly, I'm still puzzled why Lea Michele didn't open this revival. Playing Fanny was a big deal for her character of Rachel on ''Glee.'' This revival was directed by Michael Mayer, who directed her in ''Spring Awakening.'' Michele even sang ''Don't Rain on My Parade'' at the 2010 Tony Awards ... |

| So many swirling thoughts. LOL. I never liked this performance and watching it again I still feel the same way. A major reason is the amount of time she spends with her eyes closed. In general I do not like when people perform with their eyes closed. It seems self indulgent, like they are luxuriating in the sound of their own voice rather than communicating with the audience. I may be reading into this...but at a basic level I know I was taught in acting school to keep my eyes open or I am exclding the audience. Please don't make fun of me, but I saw Spring Awakening 11 times and I don't remember her singing with her eyes closed, do others? Did she do it on Glee (not a fan, only watched one episode). I hope it was just a one off for this Tonys performance. And it seems like everyone has forgotten all the chatter about "Lea Michelle isn't FUNNY". And of course the other side says "it's called acting" and all that. That might be true, but there is a reason "types" exist and not everyone can play everything. I always thought she exuded an unpleasantness, in general. And from some of the stories from castmates it seems that may not be so off from the truth. However, I am going to wrap this up by saying I think her time has come to play Fanny. Maybe she's grown. I found her more appealing on the recent Tonys broadcast than I ever have. And Streisand aside---I honestly don't care about Streisand or anyone being like her---I really just want to hear the score sung by someone with a big voice. |

| EvFoDr, I'd never make fun of you for seeing ''Spring Awakening'' 11 times 'cuz I saw it about a dozen times myself. I make no apologies. I loved it! I can't remember seeing Michele sing with her eyes closed in ''SA'' either, but her Tony performance isn't necessarily how she'd do it in a show. Michele also happens to be 12 years older now, and I would imagine that would inform how she would approach the same song in 2022. I posted the Tonys clip to show that I believe Michele has the power and pipes to play Fanny, something lacking in Miss Feldstein's efforts. |

| I agree. Her moment has passed. She's gotten a lot of negative press and on-line chatter about her unprofessional behavior. I think her fan base may be smaller than it once was. | |
