For a few years I was taught but a professional Broadway actress who has played lead roles on Broadway and tours and she told me that a lot of stages were small depending on where they were performing but I’m not sure if Rachel was on Broadway or off Broadway
Honestly Sue being on the opening of Funny Girl made zero sense, she would probably be on Rachel’s dressing room releasing two goats and leaving a jar full of pee on the desk
@@lookhowshegobbledthat Yes, bc if she isn't they'll never give her the part. Broadway performers do this 8 times a week so professionalism is immaculate.
@@IHARumor you know before you come to RUclips to comment on things you know absolutely nothing about, check your facts. Jane in fact said that the reason behind her leaving before Lea is because Lea and Tova starting together is a strong idea and I agree. Jane congratulated Lea on the role herself so why must people like you try to find smoke where there’s no fire!?
i don’t even like Rachel, but this performance was amazing and she really was born to play Fanny. i would’ve loved to see more scenes of Rachel performing in Funny Girl spanning several episodes, but for some reason the show decided to make her throw away her childhood Funny Girl ‘dream’ for a tv show and i don’t understand why they destroyed the only storyline of Rachel’s that i enjoyed, and the only one that justified her near-cutthroat ambition and at times awful personality.
Thank you👏👏👏 These first like 60 seconds where she's walking down the halls silently, one cut/shot, little music, silent expect for the vocal warm ups and a sort of tense feel. Then the curtain goes up and the lights hit. We all get the sense of "she got there". By far one of my favorite theatrical moments in the whole show. and the writers absolutely trashed it. As someone who has worked to put on shows and performances, that feeling of lights, of being on stage, oh my god, especially after a hard climb, it's is not worth giving up for any tv show. Realistically, Rachel would not have given that up.
Rather than the TV show I would’ve liked it if they had shown Rachel unable to cope with the pressure, not of just performing but also being recognised and maybe (although not nice to see) lead to a breakdown which would’ve been a more natural fit for someone who in a few months lost the love of her life, got the leading role on a Broadway musical and dropped out of NYADA. Her life changed incredibly quickly and her going home to reflect and support the new Glee club would’ve been a better storyline and actually allow the viewer to sympathise with her. The fact that she gets bored and chooses the TV show over Funny Girl is probably the most unnatural thing Rachel would ever do.
@@gingechicken7394 It just seems so obvious! I remember going into Season 5B being cautiously optimistic about the focus on New York and I thought they did a decent job in the beginning but it’s like they realised that they needed to go back to Ohio last minute and scrambled to put together a storyline to get her back there.
the thing i hate most about glee is when they make a character become so incredible and amazing and likeable, they ruin it for no reason. rachel was ambitious and driven and loyal, and then they made her act completely out of character and give up something she always wanted. they ruined so many good characters who had real substance (tina, quinn, sam, santana)
I don’t think Rachel was written to be likable, even after character development. That being said, she was my favorite character. But you’re right. Definitely out of character what they did
It's the reality no? not all but most people change immensely once the environment around them change Rachel was a small town girl but after success she including everything around her changed it changed her for the better then for the worst
No cuz the way they did Tina was really bad... I really stopped liking her in like season 3 because she started doing the most. And Quinn was very much just ashamed of her past and herself, and she was rarely there for the people who was there for her.
I’ll always be mad at how they trashed Rachel’s character. She worked so hard for this her entire life to throw it all away to be a teacher at her high school?? Like what? Season 6 was garbage. Lol Rachel should have continued her dream 😭😭😭 doesn’t make sense
You mean like in some fiction people can cast spells by singing? Like in Hocus Pocus? Love it. It just took a little while to come into reality. Very happy for her and I hope I can get tickets.
Lea Michele is a monster that doesnt deserve this or any role. Beanie Feldstein is a muhc better person and Fanny Brice than Lea Michele could ever hope to be.
@@redique There's no doubt that Beanie is a much nicer person, but she was a terrible fit for Fanny Brice because she didn't have the vocal range that Broadway audiences expect. That isn't Beanie's fault. That is the producers. The same producers who had seen the exact same thing happen in the West End production a few years ago. If they really wanted to commit to having Fanny be more funny than be a powerful singer they wouldn't have cast understudies in both productions with big powerful belting voices. They undermined their leading ladies twice.
@@carriew5106 Also it isn't a competition to find a saint. It is to find a singer who can sing the part. Should we pay 200 dollars to hear someone in a musical because they work with underprivileged kids and volunteer at soup kitchens but can't sing? Also do we do morality vetting for people in other jobs that sell you something, like cars, groceries, paper products? Do you know if the plumber who unclogged your pipes is faiithful to their wife/husband? I don't.
@@madeinhisimage9277 People who have seen the understudy Julie Benko have been satisfied that she can deliver the material. I have no doubt that Lea Michele can also as I' ve heard her sing live. No one is trying to replace Barbra but just like no one can replace Mozart it doesn't mean others can never play his music. But they do have to be excellent musicians to do it well.
I don't think I'll ever get the chance to star in a musical in my life 😭 but when I saw this episode, I could almost say that in the part where Rachel walks down the aisle to the stage, I'm about to step out before hundreds of people and Broadway critics ; I felt the emotion and pressure that she felt at that moment
And now Lea is going to be Fanny on Broadway, after the original actress was fired due to terrible reviews. It should have been Lea in the first place. She was born to play this character.
Nothing has been confirmed, the whole Lea playing Fanny thing is just a bunch of rumours. Also, I don’t think Beanie was fired because her contract was always set to end in September and she’s currently in the middle of filming the 10 year film adaptation of Merrily We Roll Along
I would love to see her do it, but don't know if she should - she's already sung all the songs better than anyone else of her generation - I'm not sure she could top these Glee performances, or if she would want to do 6 or 8 shows a week with a young child... for me she doesn't have anything to prove...
@Nahuel that’s nonsense. The original actor hasn’t been hired. She’s still in the show. She is merely leaving the show at the end of her contract, the same as Jane Lynch is. Both agreed to do a six month run. Had the reviews been better, would Feldstein have stayed longer? Who can say buy to say she has been fired is simply untrue. And the rumours of Lea Michelle taking over are just that, rumours. There is no official source. A few years ago there is no way she would take a job as a replacement but after her career has nose dived the way it has there is the possibility she might. It’s very unlikely however that there is any truth to the rumour it’s even being discussed.
Glee predicted Lea Michelle would play Fanny, and they were right. She played Fanny Brice in the recent Broadway revival of Funny Girl 2022. Literally predicted 8 yrs before it happened.

She's a true gift for our ears! and she can be funny too, even though she is better in emotionnal covers, she's so talented eveything seems simple when she sing, and that is not at all!
Creo que nunca en mi vida tendré la oportunidad de protagonizar un musical 😭 pero cuando vi este capítulo, casi podría decir que en la parte en la que Rachel camina hacia el escenario por el pasillo, apunto de salir ante cientos de personas y críticos de broadway; sentí la emoción y presión qué ella sentía en ese momento
Well a huge congratulations to Miss Lea Michele!!!! As she will be taking over the role from Beanie Fieldstein!!!! I’m so proud Lea you will be the greatest star here now that she’s officially Fanny and I’m so proud
@James Conoway I doubt that’s true since I’m pretty sure all Broadway plays have to work something out for their stars to go to school as required due to child labor laws or something
@James Conoway I was wondering about the "can't read" joke as I heard it earlier today and had no clue what that was about. Actually I think that when God was giving out singing ability she got on that line twice and missed getting the ability to DRIVE, not read. She has been in more than one car crash and honestly I think anybody who loves her should provide her with a chauffer 24/7.
Lea has always been the logical successor to La Streisand in this role. It's too bad that she and Ryan Murphy could never work out the timing on a Funny Girl revival.
rachel quitting the broadway show to go on TV was so out of character for her. Will never forgive the writers for ruining the series with their wacky scripts.
I just want to point out all the weird sounds/lip trills you hear as she's walking onstage, those are only some of the weird noises musical theatre singers make.
I have never watched an episode, but my impression is that a trademark of Glee was covering well know songs in an original and often amazing way. This episode seems to have an interesting twist, but how many of the viewers just thought it was a great performance and Sue had no meaningful reason to walk out. How did the critic in the audience react? If Lea takes this approach to her opportunity to star in Funny Girl she is walking out on her self. To successfully honor Streisand and Fanny Brice, as well as develop as a human being, she needs to bring out her own original comedic and musical abilities. Will the producers give her a chance, like they did Beanie? Will Lea take the chance? ( In the end, will Randy Rainbow, with his fine blend of originality and mimicry, take over the lead and transform Funny Girl? )
sue sylvester walking out during rachel’s performance was incredible foreshadowing for jane lynch quitting funny girl before lea michele joined
IKR??? omg 😭😭
She sucked though
Like when Fynn walked out of class as a foreshadow for him walking out of life.
oh honey, you're so wrong. Jane said she LOVES Lea and that she thought Lea should premiere with Tovah together.
Jane Lynch has gone on record definitively supporting Lea in the role.
Stop gossiping! Move the hell on!!!
Can we talk about their “Broadway” stage being smaller and having less production quality that a high school auditorium in Ohio lol
For a few years I was taught but a professional Broadway actress who has played lead roles on Broadway and tours and she told me that a lot of stages were small depending on where they were performing but I’m not sure if Rachel was on Broadway or off Broadway
@@gabby4291 Rachel was on Broadway
broadway stages are smaller than most high school auditoriums
@@lindsaywallis3570 you got that right!
Depending on the theatre Broadway stages and theatres are kinda small
If only Finn had been alive he’d be clapping like crazy!
it breaks my heart that Finn never got to see Rachel realize her dream
Wtf I...Just started glee in quarantine and now I...This- WHAT FINN DIES?!
Soul Snack because I don't eat much Because Cory, the actor, died, which means Finn did too :(

Sue was just unnecessarily Sue this episode. Why did she even bother going?

Amanda Johnson she said earlier that she went only to see Rachel bomb. She didn't bomb, so Sue left.
Because Mr Shuester made her promise to
To see New York
because she is sue

@James Conoway I was wondering about the "can't read" joke as I heard it earlier today and had no clue what that was about. Actually I think that when God was giving out singing ability she got on that line twice and missed getting the ability to DRIVE, not read. She has been in more than one car crash and honestly I think anybody who loves her should provide her with a chauffer 24/7.
Who's here after Seth Meyers?
Say what you want about Lea Michele but DAYUM the girl can sing !!
Good song
Shout out to Darren's parents sitting behind him... such a lovely family.
Where?
They're sitting behind blaine and kurt
Lol, Sue. My exact sentiments on theater.
Lea has always been the logical successor to La Streisand in this role. It's too bad that she and Ryan Murphy could never work out the timing on a Funny Girl revival.
It could happen...just sayin"...
It’s gonna happen in September
Welp FUNNY you should say that
Well it just happened her dream came true.
Barbra/Fanny has comic timing! LEA ? NONE
This aged so well 💁🏽♀️❤️ iykyk
Rachel is soooooooooo amazing in this song!!!!! I love her voice!!!!!! But personally I like Kurts version better.
my favorite version of this song
And now she is doing this role in real life
Racheal just watches them go and her heart sinks
Sue just went so she can leave 😂😂 Literally why!?
Its happening y'all
I am in love with Rachel Berry 💖
rachel quitting the broadway show to go on TV was so out of character for her. Will never forgive the writers for ruining the series with their wacky scripts.
Whelp, she finally got her wish.
I just want to point out all the weird sounds/lip trills you hear as she's walking onstage, those are only some of the weird noises musical theatre singers make.
it’s crazy how she has actually been on broadway since she was 10 years old
Not 8?
@@annatimberlake7 well what i have seen it was 10
@@isaacpena6874 because i heard lea and jenna know each other since they were 8yrs old and they were on broadway
Sam bopping his head I can’t 😅
here after seeing a horrific clip of Beanie shrilling her way through this :|
Wait hold on i watched this episode and song so many time and just now i noticed the In the heights poster behind lea when she is on the stairs 0.0
1:25💀
2:20 Sue leaving is the most sue thing ever💀
2:15 and that’s how Sue Sylvester starred in Funny Girl on Broadway, alongside Beanie Feldstein
I have never watched an episode, but my impression is that a trademark of Glee was covering well know songs in an original and often amazing way. This episode seems to have an interesting twist, but how many of the viewers just thought it was a great performance and Sue had no meaningful reason to walk out. How did the critic in the audience react?
If Lea takes this approach to her opportunity to star in Funny Girl she is walking out on her self. To successfully honor Streisand and Fanny Brice, as well as develop as a human being, she needs to bring out her own original comedic and musical abilities. Will the producers give her a chance, like they did Beanie? Will Lea take the chance?
( In the end, will Randy Rainbow, with his fine blend of originality and mimicry, take over the lead and transform Funny Girl? )
Wow that was incredible. What an obvious blunder doing a Beanie!
