Funny Girl Fannys
Posted by: stevemr 05:28 pm EDT 06/17/22

With all the women who have been touted over the years as great potential Fannys, how about a string of monthly "guest" Fannys. The production is up and running. And age and ethnicity be damned. Let's let em all do it!
Who's the greatest? Leslie Kritzer....Stephanie K. Block... Ana Gasteyer... Lauren Ambrose... the list goes on and on. and yes, Julie Benko, and yes, Lea Michelle.

If we’re going to be open about age, let’s see Lainie Kazan do it. And what about Fantasia? And Anika nini Rose? And the wonderful woman from The Life?
And....can he sing it...Rupaul?

Honestly, I think she’s the best option out there.

Because rehearsing new people costs money, new costumes and wigs cost money, advertising costs money…

I saw Leslie Kritzer do it at The Papermill I had never seen her before and she was spectacular.
