I mean it's kinda obvious! Lea Mihelle will probably be in it! Who do you want to play "funny girl"?

SUTTON FOSTER!
i saw her concert, she sang dont rain... and it was brilliant!

How about we just shut up with the millions of threads and speculation and let the chips fall? If you dont like whose in it in 2 years, then dont see the show. Pretty easy.

Considering she has six more years left on her "Glee" contract, I find it very unlikely she will find the time to star in a Broadway show.

I'm seriously considering sending that to my friends, blaxx. People don't know how to use capital letters. Makes me sad. =[

To answer the question seriously- yes. Maybe not in the upcoming Broadway revival, but she will play the role at some point in her career.

Lea Salonga?

I am confused by all this Lea talk ....she is talented but the story is not about Barbra it is about Fanny Brice...just because she can imitate Barbra doesnt mean she should play Fanny Brice...Mimi Hines was nothing like Barbra and she made it her own.....I think Sutton Foster would bring a new twist and sing the hell out of it and still make it new and fresh
If you want Barbra rent the movie dont cast LEA

I think Lea Salong would be an inspired choice! But, Jackie Hoffman must play Mamma Brice!

Gleea Michelphaba could be amazing in Funny Girl, but if she doesn't sign at the stage door, the vipers on these boards will shred her to pieces!!!

If they dont have a photo or video to post on facebook they will vivisect her. You understand, people who REALLY and TRULY love the art and magic of live theatre need a photo with a star and a signed windowcard to make their life worth living. Otherwise, what is the point of going to the theatre? Its really so simple to understand.

Sutton Foster has the star quality of a lima bean.

I will bet you all a nickel that the FG revival never happens.

After hearing Julia Murney sing 'People', I wish to heck (and in vain, no doubt) that they'd hand the role to her. She's beyond brilliant.

NO. The saving grace we have behind this production is Bartlett Sher...he'd NEVER let that happen.

And Julia Murney is not beyond brilliant. Millions of people all over the world can sing "People" really well, but singing "People" or even "...Parade" really well is not what makes a good Fanny. Get a clue...

Julia Murney is 41, she was far too old to play the teenage Elphaba. She is definitely too old to portray Fanny Brice, who has to be at times a convincing teenager. Even at the height of Fanny's career in the Follies, she was only 28.
If a revival was on the cards, I'd rather they went with an unknown.
