My experience is with entertainment financing. What I can add is the producers went with a Hollywood 'star' who could help 'open' the show, and train people to think of Funny Girl outside of Streisand. If/when it's up and running and successful, Beanie will go back to making movies (I would guess her contract will run through the end of the year) and the new lead will be someone who can really sing (or possibly another movie star). So far the producers strategy has worked.
