Lea Michele to replace Beanie Feldstein in Broadway's "Funny Girl"
CBSN
It's Lea Michele's turn at the parade. The former "Glee" and "Spring Awakening" star will officially star as Fanny Brice in Broadway's "Funny Girl," the show announced Monday.
"A dream come true is an understatement," Michelle said Monday. "I'm so incredibly honored to join this amazing cast and production and return to the stage playing Fanny Brice on Broadway."
Michele will replace the show's current star Beanie Feldstein, who has starred in the role since the production began in April. The revival, which is the musical's first time back on a Broadway stage in 58 years, has received less than stellar reviews from critics. The show was only nominated for one Tony Award, a nomination for Jared Grimes as a featured actor.
