As always you continue to be the loveliest member here lol.

Gurl.. you know I always enjoy you on here. But let us have our win. It is a win. We are all just starved for something thrilling and exciting on the stage. which is what she gives.. and I don't care how she got there. she is phenomenal in this. "

I agree with you. I meant my post sincerely - Lea’s journey to the show IS a great story and I think they could and should make a documentary of it. This whole revival and the series of backstage and onstage twists and turns is the stuff of Broadway legends. And the hype and fandom is also really fun too. I’m genuinely surprised at some of the very visceral and over the top reactions in this thread (no doubt someone will find a way to try and stick a knife in me from this post lol). Trust me, I’m all good. I’m not trying to actually rain on Lea Michele or anyone’s parade for that matter.

It's quite comical.

Keep it up."

But they just want to have FUN. Aren't you the one always going on and on about how being spiteful and hateful of a leading lady is so much FUN? Why such a buzz-kill all of a sudden?"

Oh no .  They were just being honest .You’ve been on here stoking fires and creating hate from the beginning .

Shall we go down memory lane? It’s  all there .

Girl what are you babbling on about? I have never said that. Go ahead and pull up where I ever even posted that and show me receipts - I dare you.

binau - you never crossed my mind when I posted what I did. I don’t have a problem with you. I actually do like you so I was generally taken aback that you would think I was directed at you.

joevirus on the other hand…

Now, imagine if they cast Lea from the start, in an actually well designed version of Funny Girl that isn’t ugly, and horribly boring to look at. 

 

Oh what could have been. How did they mess up this revival so immensely?? It’s almost laughable, and deserves a book.

And you’ve never seen Ambrose perform the role in its entirety. If it is revelatory as her Eliza Doolittle, I would splurge in a heartbeat.

Ambrose would have been leagues better than Feldstein.

One thing's for sure, Ambrose would have handled the score without a hitch. 

 

Thank you, Betty. She is a trained opera singer who turned down a full scholarship at Julliard for Opera Studies. She is stunning, talented, and has a thrilling voice. Don't compare her to the other one.

Not surprisingly, she'll be singing "People," which won't tax her voice before tonight's show.

Great choice. I hope she does an interview segment too.
