Word of mouth is not the same as critical acclaim (or lack thereof). The vast majority of people I know personally who have seen the production come out of it recommending it to others."
I don’t know who your people are . But everyone I have talked to has been very mixe

There are production truck permit sheets in front of the Lunt Fontaine for next weekend. Are they filming? Is this being saved for posterity for the library or for PBS? I would love that. Would this be the first time with a replacement cast?

UK critics were much more mixed than US outlets.
St James is a big theatre....."
I don’t know what you’re talking about . This was an absolute smash hit beyond anything they were expecting. And the reviews were great It will do extremely well in its transfer . First time in a while where people were coming into London just to see the show.

This show is the best time to be had at the theater in London right now. Glad it has blossomed into such a hit. And I think this will do very well on Broadway. This is the must see if you travel to the West end right now.

I saw last Sunday’s matinee. I rushed one hour before curtain and we got great gallery seats . The show was meh. But worth a rush ticket for..Also;I think what they did to the theater is an abomination. Hopefully it gets restored. That theater has tons of history for me.

Funny...it seems like the Beanie fiasco never happened. Like...how could the Producers ever let her go on??
"
The whole thing needs to be a book or a movie or mini series or something. Everything from the miscasting to the alleged nepotism accusations to the infamous Sitzprobe to the crazy TikTokers. It should all be covered. It’s part of Broadway history now .

I suspect the Lea performances available on TKTS might be winding down. That is not to say that there isn't good availability. So if you are wanting to see it with Lea at decent prices go now. Benko has other performances scheduled in addition to her Thursdays. So there are

Lea Michele as Fanny - Funny Girl- Vinyl May 6

The new double record vinyl release sounds stunning. For those that have turntable with a legit set up it is totally worth it. You will be playing the overture and star over and over again.

As long as they keep Christine Pedi.I am fine. I stopped listening to Seth a few years ago. And Julie James doesn't let her guests get in a word edgewise.

They are a little much on social media. Especially Taylor. But Kyle is cute and I do like their business venture. I don’t find them representative of anything .

Rumpelstiltskin said: "For those of you who have seen Julie multiple times, do you believe that her acting choices have changed since Lea joined the cast? Many on this board have written that a standby’s acting choices and overall performance are based on the actor she covers, so I’m wondering if/how this standby has massaged her delivery to reflect a very different leading lady. Similarly, she has always been highly regarded on this board, but do you think she has pushed

DAME said: "Does anyone know how they handled Lea's unscheduled absence? Do they refund people the difference between Lea ticket prices and Julie's? I would understand a understudy.. things happen. But I would be upset if I had paid $400.00 as opposed to the $90.00 that is typical for Julie Thursdays."
If you purchased directly from the show the box office will work with you. Unfortunately most tourists don't know to ask.

Phillyguy said: "Finally saw Funny Girl. Lea was perfect in the role as expected. She was funny, vulnerable, and relatable. You feel her emotions throughout the show. The entire cast was amazing, Tovah had so much energy and was perfectly motherly. Ramin and Jared were both great as expected.
What surprised me based on all the reviews, was how quickly the entire show went by. It never felt slow and all the numbers just flowed naturally from one to the other. Even Act

Ramin was in the show from the start and didn’t receive a Tony nom."
Couple of reasons - the show was such a clunker initially, also, he was out with Covid when the Tony people were making the rounds. Still, the main reason was the original presentation. He got some of the best reviews at the time an

PipingHotPiccolo said: "We have now reached the stage of comparing Beanie's and Lea's celebrity popularity which is so utterly childish and silly (and speaks volumes about how so many here sadly view the world), but is also HILARIOUS since Lea Michele is literally FAMOUS for how unliked she is by her peers and coworkers. Which is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT TO HER TALENT or ability to play this role (just as Beanie's being so adored by so many Hollywood big names is irrelevant to
