I just saw Lea Michele as Fanny Brice on Broadway - SHE OWNS THAT ROLE - she got 6 standing ovations in the first act ALONE. AMAZINNNGGGGG! YOU LOVE HER, YOU HATE HER, BUT YOU CAN NEVER DENY THIS GIRL OF HER TALENT.
She seems to have really grown up, it was a true pleasure to see her talents as Fanny. I believe in second chances nor do I get off on pretending to be a morally superior person so rooting for her that this is real
I believe in second chances but she hasn't really own up to her bad behavior. And when she sort of address it she made it seem that it was her work ethic that cause others to misread her intentions which is a stretch.
She's always had a lovely side. She just had a stuck up side that she shared with people she felt were inferior to her. This is how she always was but only with people she considered equal. Hopefully everyone is treated this way for a while given she knows of her bad reputation.
@@oakavon Because she spat on a soup that is a food to be served in catering for the cast and crew so.... I doubt that has to do with any of the "work ethics".
This girl gets it. She know who she was and now she understands how one can change. Through humility. Through talent. Through taking personal inventory about her character defects and simply making a living amends to herself, her family and her fans.
Lea Michelle is the absolute real deal. She is such an incredible talent. She has it all. To see her finally realize her dream to play Fanny Brice on Broadway is such a thrill. I saw her and Jonathan Groff in Spring Awakening when it was just an obscure (not for long!) musical about kids in 19th century Germany. She is a rare gift. People can say what they what they want about her. It doesn’t change how profoundly talented she is. Was she a bit of a diva on the set of Glee? Maybe. People do grow and change over time. Wait what?! All the haters were ready to pounce when Lea was tapped to replace Beanie Feldstein. (Who had no business playing a role that required power vocals. She’s a great actress. Her voice isn’t bad but she could not carry this role). No one can say anything to Lea now except ENCORE! She is brilliant. She was born to play this role and I’m so thrilled for her. ⭐️
Ok, probably the most genuine interview I've seen of her to date and I'm a die hard glee and Groff fan. I hope she stays this down to earth and appreciates her fans and success
I was one of the fans who waited with flowers on her opening night and it felt like such a culmination of a journey we've all been on. Love Lea so much!
Lea is incredibly talented, her voice is just incredible. I also love the fact that Lea and Johnathan have been such best friends for so long and have remained that close throughout the years! It’s sweet to see how close Lea is with Darren Criss as well.
People say such terrible things about her. She's seems like she's grown and was lovely and gentle in this interview. Very happy to see her dreams come true.
@@sscc99 She was always sweet on Glee. I've know multiple people who worked as extras and loved being around her. Those colleagues hated her out of jealousy.
I think she’s always been sweet and people like to poke at talented people out of jealousy. Dynamics on the set created a pressure cooker situation where ALL the actors had moments. Lea was just the star and easier to throw under the bus
great interviewing with Drew. She looks flawless on this stage and the lighting is so good. and Lea was born for this role. we have known this since Glee in which she was also perfectly cast. wish i lived near NYC like i used to. i would get a ticket SO FAST!
I think everyone has moments where they break and pressure gets to be too much. I could tell just watching glee they all had moments that wouldn’t show them in the best light. Lea’s character Rachel was the star and easiest to attack without judgment
Say what you want but her voice is phenomenal! Broadway is what she was born to do. Glee was one of my fave shows when it was on and I wish her success.
She honestly does seem a lot more sincere and grounded. Who knows what kind of lesson she’s learned (and to what extent), but I’m glad she’s in a place where she can really express her talent in a way that’s open and honest. This role really is one that she fit into perfectly (the critics seem to agree on this one), and, if nothing else, this was a good place for her to land.
I am really happy for Lea and wish her the best. Did anyone notice or think it was interesting that she found out that she got the role essentially in a restaurant which is similar to how Rachel found out she got the same role in Glee? Lol.
I am kinda happy for her because every time they mention husband it just brings back memories of her life with Cory 😢 it just doesn’t feel right tbh I hope one day monchele reunite not as friends but as husband and wife
Im so excited for her she has a great voice ,and has great talent hopefully she take the best out of this whole experience to evolve into a much nicer person.
To everyone who is clutching your pearls and screaming and crying if you don’t like her don’t look at her videos it’s not that hard she has fans she’s not gonna be canceled and you guys seriously need to get the heck over yourself because you’re way worse than she ever thought of being because while she’s moved on with her life, you don’t stop you don’t let it go.
@@Leamichellefan2244 me either I wish her the best in whatever she does next I have like her since she was on glee and I hate what people has done to her over the years, I know Cory up in heaven smiling down on her and he would have been so proud of her
I don’t care what anyone says about Lea. I know what she did in the past was wrong, but still no one’s gonna make me hate that fact that she has talent. She can act. She can dance. And she can sing! She is perfect for Funny Girl! She really proved everyone that she really is a greatest star 🌟. I was thinking she should reprise the role if they ever did a movie adaption of Funny Girl. Corey would have been very proud of her 😢❤
I agree!!! Like I said before!!! I don’t care what dahmer did he is a changed man and he deserves our prayers and if he was alive a second chance just like Lea!!!
@@javiruiz8365 Yes bc being snarky to your coworkers sometimes is def the same thing as killing and eating people. Also, Dahmer's been dead for a long time. You need to get a grip.
I didn't know I would LOVE Drew as a host T_T she really do listen and add to what her guest is talking about, she is such a GOOOD listener. T_T I love her as an actrees and I lover her even more
I go back and forth whether I truly believe the rumors about her. There may be some truth to them but I have a feeling it's somewhere in the middle. Even if it's somewhere in the middle of course I do not agree with everything she may have done or said. But I am glad she is actually getting the second chance and showing people that she is still around because while whatever she did if it is true I may not agree with, what I disagree with even more is the judgment of her and what felt like people thinking she could never redeem herself. I would hope somebody would not judge me or thinking I could not possibly redeem myself for maybe something I did in my 20s or even 30s compared today in my 40s. I am not morally superior to anyone and I believe everyone deserves a second chance. I am glad she got it. I wish I lived in New York to see her because I would so go if I had the chance. 🙂
I think the fact that her Glee co-stars have not kept in touch with her and have no intention of seeing her perform this role, tells us everything about how she was ten years ago. In this interview she acknowledges that she was previously 100% career-driven and it would seem that she didn't treat people well along the way. She's been cancelled and fortuitously her baby came during that period. She's had a chance to grow, reflect and change. She appears to have seized this lucky second chance and I wish her nothing but the best going forward. I hope this is the beginning of a fabulous second part to her career.
Just love Lea......she is as sweet in person as I had hoped (met her and Corey in Vancouver) and a true professional from all accounts with her new cast. What a talent!
My glass half full personality wants to think she has learned something, changed, and be so happy for this opportunity for her. She is so talented it would be a shame to waste it.
She's a perfectionist. I still recall what happened to her Glee audition. Love her. People overreacted re: micro-aggression. It's not career-ending. Who here works long hours and have never snapped at people? Just me? I'm the office grump? Lol. I think she's sweet and is far away from Mariah Carey levels of divahood. Love Mariah too.
If you listen to an interview with Lea from 10 years ago, it's clear that she is a very different, more humble person now. I don't know to what extent the rumors of her behavior were true, but some of it definitely was. Learn and grow.
It’s so weird how Rachel in glees dream was the play Fannie on Broadway and it happened to her and then in real life it was also Leah’s dream and now it’s happening…. Okay Ryan Murphy .. I see you 👀🤣
If Ryan didnt put Funny Girl on Glee. I think, people (more so young adults), would not watch this or wouldnt know this. Broadway for me open up when I watched Glee and now I love anything Broadway. Since Glee is most accessible for me. And Lea killed this role.

I'm amazed by Drew being such a consistently true person and great interviewer!!!! Well done!!!
Cory would be so proud of her. Truly 👏 I know she's always been a Broadway girl even before Glee but still. So happy for her
He would be smiling down from heaven
I wonder if she saved him a seat
@@ashleygillen1997 she probably did
she seems a very nice and humble person, I know she was difficult in the past but I hope she's treating people well, people grow and change!
Your an optimist ?
She has I just know it.

I know!!! So did dahmer!!! We should give him another chance!!!!
I wish Jeffrey was not dead
Lea has grown as a person and she earned that part so happy for her. ❤️
Say what you want but her voice is phenomenal! Broadway is what she was born to do. Glee was one of my fave shows when it was on and I wish her success.
I’m happy for her, good to know that she has grown and become a better person. Granted, she made mistakes but she is human. Good for her!
U don't know she's become a better person , anyone can come off well in an interview.

She’s the moment ⭐️
This is so touching..

Im so excited for her she has a great voice ,and has great talent hopefully she take the best out of this whole experience to evolve into a much nicer person.

This makes me emotional. I got moist-eyed. Both Funny Girl and Glee fill me with joy.❤
"If it's not fun, then why do we do it?" I try to remind myself of that too with the arts. It all starts from a place of love and joy!
