It has Idina and Anthony Rapp in it and the music sounds great. This could be fabulous!

What exactly do you mean hu using that phrase? And how do those factors lead you to that conclusion? Considering hite little any of us know about this show, it's much too early to guess.

It seems like a perfect vehicle for Idina just like how Funny Girl was a great vehicle for Barbra Streisand.

Oh. Now your title makes perfect sense. Not.

What Pokemon did you pick when you first played?

That question is as relevant and sensible as the OP.

Except Barbra was an unknown. You can't really say that about Menzel.

But it's a ridiculous statement to make.

True, Idina is a star but this could make her an even bigger star if she is really good in it.

But she'll never be the greatest star.

SHE IS THE GREATEST STAR OF ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Norma Desmond is the GREATEST STAR OF THEM ALL!!!

It's always fun to watch the anti-Renthead trolls lose their sh*t.

Its more of a rent reunion than funny girl 2.0

Its probably going to be amazing since Idina and anthony (who I recently met :) ) are mega-talents.

But as some people have already said, they're hardly un-discovered.
They have both had relatively long and successful careers and are both celebrities.
This may be a great for their careers but its hardly them being discovered.

Not if she gives us another wooden and straight face performance without an ounce of emotion.

"Except Barbra was an unknown. You can't really say that about Menzel."

Barbra Streisand was anything but an unknown when FUNNY GIRL opened in 1964. She already had 3 (count 'em 3) bestselling albums in the Billboard Top 10, two Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year, a successful nightclub act, a Tony nomination (I Can Get it for You Wholesale) and numerous appearances on television variety and talk shows.

Where is Menzel's Vegas act? Did I miss it? How many bestselling albums has Menzel had? When was the last time (or the first time) she appeared on The Tonight Show?

Idina does the best she can. She has off days sometimes but what performer doesn't? She is a great singer and actress.

I had no idea, I was always under the impression that FG was Bab's breakthrough. Hm. Live and learn.

[jv92]

Posted: 8/1/13 at 10:13pm

I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE was her breakthrough.

FUNNY GIRL made her a star.

Can I just say that I'm happy Anthony Rapp is doing something other than RENT, or a show about how he auditioned/played in RENT.
