Can someone tell me why there appears to be an obsession with this girl getting this role? Like the Earth will split open if she doesn’t.

She has the vocal chops and acting skills.
She resembles Fanny and some of us love her.
The real question is: was there a need to revive FG?
Great score. So-so show. It needs a real vocal powerhouse to pull it off since the score is the best reason to revive it if you’re going to revive it.

She resembles Fanny? Not from the photos I’ve ever seen.

I agree with your other points. Did it really need a revival? For that matter, did Music Man need a revival?

No.

Point taken. She resembles Fanny more than Beanie. I’ve seen some “glamour shots” of Fanny Brice where she is quite attractive, angles and lighting help.
I did enjoy Beanie but didn't do much for the show.

I just saw a comparison clip of Barbra and Lea on Twitter.

Lea shouldn’t get the role just because she can do a passable sound-alike impression.
