Religion/ethnicity aside, I don't think she'd make a great Fanny based on that short clip of her singing MTMMD.

How long do you guys think Funny Girl can maintain these numbers? The steam has got to run out eventually right?

I enjoyed Starter for Ten.. but as a musical? Eh.

Confused why FG isn't in the summary because capacity was down by 9.94%. Still a decent number considering Lea was out and Ramin was also out for a few performances I think

I think there was a play where a character dissects that phrase and why it's his favorite curse, but I cannot think of it, and I haven't found it in a Google search regardless of how many ways I word it. Does it sound familiar to anyone here?"I first encountered the phrase in an episode of White Collar. Do you watch that sh...

At this rate, they might come very close to breaking even. Who knows, maybe they’ll recoup close to shuttering.All this goes to show there is noFunny Girlwithout Michele. If it tours, she’ll launch it at the very least...

Both Ramin and Beanie got a letter when the show first opened.

She's amazing of course but wow, she looks wonderful!And Barbra wrote her a letter - finally! That's sweet. Interview video, performance video.

It's ridiculous how much **** Lea gets under Amber's tiktok videos - but nice to see the person doing their hair defending her.

Give us a movie of “x” musical!Like I understand accessibility but I feel like at a certain point it moves to unrealistic expectations and being demanding"You forgot the "alternates should perform in big promo spots like the Macy's parade!"

One thing I dislike about the Funny Girl marketing team is how they never utilize their Youtube - Disney uploaded the Lion King performance, Moulin Rouge uploaded theirs, I'm sure other productions have uploaded their performances too but nothing from Funny Girl!

ACL2006 said: "People do realize that all performances for the Macy's parade are always lip-synced? People acted as she sang full out at 9am during the parade."Who is acting like that? It's just being pointed out that she rehearsed for the parade on Tuesday, had 2 shows Wednesday, woke up at 5am Thursday with a head cold and stayed outside in the cold until maybe 9:30am? So it's understandable that she needs rest.

NoItAll said: "A person who enjoys a characteristic common to the overwhelming majority of all people should not be called “lucky.”"Why not? A life without any kind of love or passion is a boring one.

Rehearsal for Macy's! So THIS is how the entire cast is participating.

BWW album review."So, what was I going to think of the new Funny Girl cast album? Was I going to be one of those fans so devoted to the original that I would be unable to find a redeeming quality in the revival cast album? Would I nitpick and criticize everything that I hear, unable to shake the ghost of my childhood musical theater Rock of Gibraltar?No, I am not.I'm not going to be that person because the new Broadway cast recording of FUNNY GIRL is as good a cast recording as there has ever...
