And particularly for Ramin who really gets to explore more of Nick now and his dynamic with Fanny esp in the romantic aspect. I mean, for an actor, it must be exciting stuff to do something new and to dig deeper on the character. And it would definitely help the plot of show and make the romance believable. And I know this is just an interview, but I can already see hints of his chemistry with Lea. That must be fun for the audience
I am sooo obsessed with this show...As I had previously said I saw it 4x...will go more...gives me such immense pleasure...It's not only leas singing..her performance is just sooo electrifying....and we have the same Birthday.
Lea talking about the Glee fans there supporting here was just heart touching 😍❤️ I’m so happy and proud of her just like Mr. Schuester listening Sectionals through the phone 🥲🎉
Lea Michele is so incredibly undeniably talented. I’m so thrilled for her. What an incredible moment she is living. Lea is the star power and talent this show needed. No offense to Beanie and Jane but there is no comparison. At all. Lea Michele was born for this. Tovah is a legend and so gracious. This is how the show was meant to be. People will flock to it. Bc Lea Michele’s voice soars. She is a star. Period.
I agree...I have seen the show 4x already...Once with Beanie...Twice with Julie...and last night with Lea...This is the way the show should be...Sooo elated...I haven't felt this way about a show in Years...I am getting another ticket for round number 5...lol...love BARBRA!!!Congratulations..Tovah...love you as well....Russell..
@@russellkrever8041 even though I don’t live in New York I am so excited to know how amazing Lea is in it! I’ll definitely watch her when a slime comes out ;)
@@russellkrever8041 I know everyone said how amazing Julie was, and you saw her twice! That’s why I was wondering.... But I’m glad to know Lea is killing it! :D
Lee was the right choice for funny girl she should’ve been funny girl from the word girl but definitely better late than never now please make a cast recording with her.
@@againstthepods4316 I see your point I really do but please please please please don’t hate me when I say I definitely prefer her overall performance over that of her predecessor again please don’t hate me.
I've been waiting for this since glee. I wish I could see Lea live in the performance, but NYC is a dream vacation. "Karmically meant for her" I think we need to remember this line.
Tovah is such a class act--graciously acknowledging Beanie and Jane! She exemplified a team player with nods to everyone else on the stage while expressing her joy.
I'm ashamed to say that I only "knew" Tovah because of Walking Dead....Omg where have I been?!?!? This is a cast that FITS. Beanie and Jane are great in their own strengths...but for a show to be cohesive, the right players need to be in it. Congratulations to the cast!!! Hope to catch this run!!!
😭😭😭 porque no puedo ir a verla. Pero súper feliz por ella, porque desde que se anunció el musical la veía a ella como Fanny Brice y cuando no pasó se me rompió un poco el corazón. Y aunque se que no la veré, estoy muy feliz 🤗🤗🤗
Oh wow. The lady playing fannys mom was the leader of Alexander on the Walking dead. Love Lea. I so want to see Funny Girl on Broadway. We did Funny Girl in high school.
@@bruh_hahaha That's victim mentality talking right there, bruh. Unless she literally smashed your singing voice or dancing feet, you can't blame someone for ruining your career because they're mean or manipulative. Losers cry and point fingers. Winners fight. Which are you?
@@nicoletrudell2065 Back in September 2005, the Tony Awards Administration created a new Tony category: the Best Performance by an Actor or Actress in a Recreated Role. The category was never awarded and it's now gone. Maybe it is possible that in future years there could be special awards given to replacements. So, it's not that crazy of a thought.
Ha, ha didn't know that Rose had never been played by a Jewish woman! I was happy to see Tovah on cast list and am sure she's spectacular and I know Lea is!!! Just wish I could see the show. I hope there will be more clips of the show on RUclips 😁!
I’m just gonna say it, feldstine was nw freaking good and thank good lea is saving the show along with the amazing woman playing the mother of funny girl.
I don’t get why the girl is still mad. She called Lea out who got piled on and lost her sponsorships because of it. Lea paid a price at the time and I’m sure it was embarrassing. She got her good, so I don’t get why she’s still talking about it. What, is Lea never allowed to work again for the rest of he life?
While Lea is living her dream on Broadway, the other girl is living a miserable professional life as all she’s known for now is that she’s the girl who Lea wanted to shit in her wig! She chose to erase all her career and introduce herself to the world as that person … let her HAVE IT.
hi laya I was funny girl in my high school and j sang pretty well. all my friends say I sound like u bc I have such a huge powerhouse voice . i’m pretty cool
Well, everyone finally got what they wanted in Funny Girl. A Barbra Streisand impersonator. God forbid an actress should bring a new interpretation to a role. 🙄 Broadway & McDonald’s, keeping it generic as hell.
God forbid they put in an an actress who can actually sing the score properly and who doesn’t sound like snow white, grow the flip up and get the flip over it.
You're so lucky to have gotten to see Lea's performance already. Where were your seats? It seemed like the atmosphere was electric. Surely you wouldn't criticize a performance without having seen it, would you?
The problem with this show is that it’s Barbra’s. It’s just a question of who does a better impression of her. Lea killed it because she knows Barbra’s performance by heart and her performance is basically Barbra’s done perfectly through her.
Actually it isn't Barbra's. Lea is not doing a Barbra impression - neither did Beanie, nor has Julie nor Ephie. Perhaps you need to see the show, which is NOT the movie BTW. One of the best things about the show now is Nicky is actually a part of it. Streisand pushed Sydney Chaplin to one side when their affair didn't work out. This is a love story as well as a "star is born" story. Taking nothing away from Streisand who is unique - this show is now what I think Fanny and Nicky's daughter hoped it would be when it was first produced.
@@Makeji i only know the Broadway recording of Barbra’s performance (other than the film) unfortunately but I hear Barbra throughout Lea’s singing which is fine by the way. I also heard some of Beanie’s and even an old Lainie Kazan recording which surfaced at some point on You tube, which didn’t have any of Barbra’s genius musicality and inflictions which actually made the material less interesting.
1:28 but not fond enough to pronounce her name right. No real Streisand fan at this point wouldn’t know how to pronounce her name considering how many times she complained about that publicly. It’s quite crazy that her name can’t be pronounced right by so many. They just wanna make something out of her name that it’s not. STREI SAND LIKE SAND ON THE BEACH. Not Srei Zind. Always gets me.
The leading men are so elated and relieved to have these two great performers in the show. They know that their show has been redeemed.
And particularly for Ramin who really gets to explore more of Nick now and his dynamic with Fanny esp in the romantic aspect.

Wow so you’re saying Binie wasn’t great? No need to be unkind I’m one of her biggest fans
Amen to that
This version of the cast just feels right. Nothing against Beanie and Jane but this just makes more sense. Can't wait to see it.
Agreed!!!
Perfect casting! I saw it day two matinee. ❤
@@ramonhernandez7892 lucky you 😁!
Amen.

Tovah saying "This is a homecoming for Lea in a part that was karmically meant for her" is so accurate

Amazing! So Lea is the best Fanny? :)
ABSOLUTELY!!! Her performance is ELECTRIFYING
Totally seeing it with her again...Lea totally transforms the show...see her if you can.

It’s great for publicity though to bring her in to save the show. I think it happened the right way

I love all 4 of them, hope they have an amazing run.

Well deserved! Congrats Lea & Tovah.
Congrats for what? Ruining the careers of others to get yo where she is? Failing upwards is all this is.
@@bruh_hahaha don’t be a sheep

Gosh I’m just so happy for all of them. What a success. I love first, second, third, and fourth acts. And second chances. Congratulations ladies!!
Glad to see Ramin flourishing 💖😊
Lea is amazing!!! I LOVE HER!
I'm very happy for all. I won't get to see the show, but with Fall coming... what a Thanksgiving this cast will have. Mazel tov!
Bravo Lea!! 😍😍😍
just the way it should be... cannot wait to watch it in Oct.
Tovah is precious 😍
This is the perfect cast, sadly lea is out for a bit due to illness but she will return on the 20th of this month.
Tovah's so adorable
She deserve a Tony award or just nomination for this. Hope Tony's would change the rule and put Lea on the list
That will not happen lol

Lea é incrível, só sucesso.
The male leading actor is so cute haha
Ramin Karimloo - Phantom of the Opera, Les Miz - cute and an amazing singer and actor. Great match up for Lea playing her dream role.
Ramin is the best 💘
That’s ramin karimloo. He’s played Les miserables and phantom.
Why they look each other like that 😆
Ramin 💖
I wanna see this so badly.

@@hsa1017 I've never seen her on Broadway but I can tell from her TV performances that she must be dynamic 😁!
Ramin is fantastic.
TOVAH
I have a crush on Ramin ❤
We all do
Is that Lea laughing @ 4:29
I’m just gonna say it, feldstine was nw freaking good and thank good lea is saving the show along with the amazing woman playing the mother of funny girl.
“I don’t remember the last time I was this happy” - Lea (well, i’d blame it on the psycho girl with the bad wig) - Congrats Lea, love you 💙
I blame it on her too and I’m thrilled that Lee is happy again she deserves to be happy after all of the crap that she’s been put through.
100%

And then that Starbucks run that turned into COVID. Wa wa. ☕

Tovah is the first Jewish actress to play Rosie? Kay Medford wasn't Jewish?🙄🤔
She may be sent from the depths of hell but she delivers with those notes.
