I absolutely love everything about her performance. She truly blew it out of the water. This number specifically too. You can tell based on her facial expressions she is absolutely loving every moment of this show and I love that for her❤
I do too and can people please stop saying that Lee was playing Barbara and not Fanny Bryce because that’s a lie and the people who are saying it are just angry because they didn’t get who they wanted on that stage.
Chills!!!!!! In one minute she gave me chills! I love how she pays homage to some of Barbara’s phrasing and inflections, yet makes vocal choices that truly make the song her own. BRAVA!
One of my most favorite Babas song. The intricacy in phrasing and belts where its almost impossible to breathe really separates this song from the rest. She did great.
She is definitely the best choice. It’s so hard because I am the biggest fan of Barbra. I still don’t think anyone can shine like she can, but for Broadway Leah got it!
@@Leamichellefan2244 Because I’m allowed to watch a video and decide if I like something or not. That is the point of watching things to see if it is your thing it not. Being that I am a HUGE fan of Funny Girl, I then see what they have done with the broadway to see if it is MY thing. That’s like saying why did you watch a remake of a movie? You watch and then figure out if you like, how can you know until you watch it….Naturally when there is an original, you compare it.
I don't get why people thought she'd fail at this considering her original background is Broadway. It's definitely not tv, but it was just odd and she clearly still brings in the audience because she can sing. This sounds amazing too I would not be mad if she released an album of Funny Girl songs.
I don’t think that people necessarily thought that she’d fail, unfortunately I think they WANTED her to fail. and she’s just knocking it out of the park. she deserved every bit of this role, and you can tell this is really a dream come true!
She was apparently a mean sort of woman on set to her coworkers. But I don’t think anyone ever thought she’d be bad for the part. Pretty sure even her haters know she’s good. Hopefully she’s shed her mean girl or diva reputation. I have no tolerance for workplace bullies. That said, why don’t men get called out for being difficult to work with?
Yea I agree with the comments below, I'm not sure people thought she would fail, I think people rightfully thought she didn't deserve the role because of the quality of a person she is and her character. She's an incredible performer and is absolutely killing it right now.
During Glee her voice was too young, almost like a teenager voice, especially on the first season when she sings "Don't rain on my parade" for the first time. Here she sounds much more mature and her voice fits the role perfectly.
@@marcoterres3421 I think the editing on Glee was a bit meh until season 3, which affected how she sounded a bit. You are right, though, that her voice has matured. I imagine it will sound even better when she’s in her 50s because she still sounds so young.
@@marcoterres3421 Don't rain on my parade was the song made me become gleek and obsessed with the show and lea.. But if you paid attention her vocal was not good in Season 5... all the bad things happened and her voice no longer that pure and clear.. glad she gets her vocal better now and more experienced.
@@Max-my6rk i agree with you completely. after S5 her voice changed. don’t get me wrong, there were times in that period where her voice would still impress me. but overall her voice just didn’t sound as full and her belts were airy
@@Laurap01 please don’t think I’m crazy but I love the way she sounded ugly. I love the way she sounds now and I agree with you. I think the older she gets the better she’ll get.
OMG I wish I could go see her in this. I was a fan of hers on GLEE and I'd love to see her realizing her dreams in person. Yes nailed it for sure! She wants this so badly, she's going to nail every song, every night.....
@Bruce Snyder Do you know her personally now? Did you know her then? If not, you have no opinion valid of listening to. I know from experience that people will run with a story for no good reason other than wanting to belong or just plain jealousy. My experience of Lea Michele is in the present. I'm not even sure she was the evil person she is accused of being in the past. Microagressions, etc. are b.s. IMO. I'm from a different generation and this cancelling business is done by people who are far worse IMO than anything someone "cancelled" MIGHT have done. In any event, she's brilliant in the role. I get a good vibe from her as a person in her interviews and the current cast seems to adore her. I'm good with that. Don't like her, don't watch, but don't spread crap that is old and dead. I will add this about apologies. First of all what was she supposed to do? Prostrate herself at the feet of the person whose psyche was supposedly so damaged? In these days, if you say you're sorry, it's not enough. For the most part, I doubt she did anything to apologize for. Being a diva? Lots of those in theater. If you want to be in the business - get used to it: Streisand, Peters, Lupone (especially) are/were all divas. People who are perfectionists in their work often don't notice others. That's life. I think people were mostly offended because Lea didn't pay attention to them rather than anything she said. In any event, as I said above - she's rocking this part and good for her. People are getting their monies worth, finally, with this show and that's what it's all about.
@Bruce Snyder Then don't watch them. I might add grow up, because the world is never going to live up to your high ideals. Even the nicest people can be a-holes at times. And, talent will out, in case you haven't noticed. Roman Polanski and Woody Allen are great examples of that. I have learned to accept apologies if I see a change in behavior. That's called maturity. I don't really know what she "did." I like the person she is now, from all appearances, suggesting whatever went down, she's learned from it. Heaven help you if you ever screw up. You'll never forgive yourself.
So excited to see this, especially how she matures in the second act where the acting needs to be on point and believable. Looks like she is nailing it. BRAVO!
Do you know why she wasn’t cast at first? Was it because of her bad reputation on Glee? I feel that as the other performer received such bad reviews, the producers called Lea as a last chance to save the show. The worst scenario would be closing it, but at that point as it was gonna happen anyways , they decided to give it a shot by casting her. Apparently she did save it. As long as she continues in the role tickets will sell out.
@@ToySoldiers she hits every note perfectly, leaving no room for emotional depth in her voice. And oppositely she over emotes physically to a point where she’s almost patronising the audience showing them which emotion she’s portraying now; which is why her biggest roles have been in comedy because that’s where it works best. Which leaves us with unrealistic acting and singing that belongs on a training tape. I don’t think the woman’s bad at this she’s just not as outstanding as a lot of people make out. She has some pretty standard faults making her somewhat mediocre. If it wasn’t for her lung capacity she really don’t have anything else to offer that’s “special”
I do hope that now they will have a cast recording of this. Only wish that she could be up for a Tony for her performance, she so deserves it but as someone who replaced the original leading lady, sadly, that won't happen.
True, but the Tony committee could vote her a Special Tony for her work as a replacement who otherwise couldn't be nominated. They did it before with, among others, Pearl Bailey, Richard Burton, and Mary Tyler Moore.
I hope it continues to run through the next Tony awards and that they’ll have the cast perform. I think it would be a good thing for them. They’d be able to show how much better they’ve gotten. I love Lea and Julie is great too. I think they need to choose a different song for when they do guest appearances though. DROMP and People are expected because they are so familiar. Cornet Man or Music That Makes Me Dance would be good for just Lea but a different one for the entire cast.
Her pitch is just... MAGICAL! Very rare skill in musicals for some reason, performers speak the melodie all the time and this is so annoying hahahahah only Elaine Stritch could speak a melody (Or hole songs like she did later in life) in an entertaining way.
Can u post I’m the greatest star, don’t rain on my parade and the finale? I saw it…. LOVED IT SHE DID SO GOOD! but I want to relive it and ur videos of it are the best quality I’ve found!!
What are you basing this on? Do you have personal experience with her? From what I’ve read and heard her laser focus on her career probably did make her insensitive to others and thus hard to work with…that was what ? Ten years ago and she has addressed this, apologized, and has really seemed to grow as both a person and an actress…saw her tuesday and she was amazing. People make mistakes in life especially early in their careers…can we judge u by your behavior when you were 20?
I thought it was rushed and pushed. I like her but this does not compare to other versions. The great Mimi Hines, who took Barbra place when she took the show to London, ( Ms Hines kept the show going for 18 months) knew how to sell this song with emotion and grace. It a show stopper when it is done right. You can view here on RUclips ( Mimi Hines Sings Chicago, It's at the end of the video.) Again I like Lea Michele and I'm So glad she is playing this role.
@@Max-my6rk It must be agonizing to be Beanie right now. To see the role she bombed in be resurrected and raised to new heights. The great reviews must sting like Hell.
I don't always like Lea's performances; she can really be hit or miss in my oppinion. But clearly she was to born to play this role. And she deserves all the praise and acclaim she is getting.

I can't stop watching this, its so beautiful, it makes me remember a time when I wasn't so sad... she is beauty personified, every part of her.
Lea saved this show, like it or not facts are facts.
It would have won best revival of a musical and she would have won best leading actress in a musical
Fight us if you dare but like she said FACTS ARE FACTS
True. But the audiences came to see her play Streisand, not Brice.
She did, but your screen name isn’t doing you any favors in the bias department.
she deserved a special tony last year
Saw it last night. Exceptional from start to finish. If Lea had originated the role, she would have taken home the Tony.
But beanie's family got her the role.. horrible..

Oh my gosh, she is giving her ALL, exactly what this production needed.

Perhaps the defining moment in the show that makes this show hers.. I hope Barbra comes to see the show to pay homage
She might. But, wow, it will disrupt the show!
This quality tho?? omg
To the people saying she doesn’t deserve the role, hat is wrong with you?, do you want the show to be closed because without her it would be.
So flawless! 💯❤
She is the embodiment of a young Streisand. This is a Broadway legend in the making.

MY GOD THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Goosebumps!!!
wow how is this video so professional looking omg
her cry-singing is superb its so difficult to convey crying without actually doing it while singing. hate her (love her)
