Lea Michele as Fanny - Funny Girl — Page 20

The Pesky Pescatarian said: "Thanks for the answer on Ramin! I guess maybe it's just a perspective thing. But yeah, great chemistry between them. But I've always though of Lea as a little chemistry machine with both her male and female co-stars. The only person I thought she didn't get all sparkly with was Cory on Glee.

Also heavy agree with past criticisms on how ugly this show is to look at. I've seen Regional shows with better production values. Wtf happened there? Eww."

YAWIAM is fantastic!! She's really great at comedy.

It blows my mind that people get away with these. And ever since Lea joined its like there's been footage from every performance. Has the production stopped caring? If anything, the leaked videos are only driving people's interest up more. Agreed that they are all thrilling and how amazing to have such high quality ones. I hope someone saves them so years from now so people can marvel at her then!

I do agree that they're letting the bootlegs stay up because it's free promotion but I do think they'll remove the other numbers except for DROMP eventually. They don't want to make the viewer feel they've seen the entire show.

But having seen all these just makes me want to see her live even more. So who knows?

The most interesting part, for me, has been reading the comments on the videos of Lea from the show. Whether it was on Fallon, the first clips of her opening night on twitter, instagram, YouTube, etc.

There's always a ton of people saying that this is making them fans of her either for the first time OR they are fans of hers AGAIN. Overall, just a huge public admiration win for her. Not just in this production, but for her future.

I wish so badly to back in time and find a way to get this to be how the show opened. But, as some have said, part of what makes this an "event" is the comparison between her and Beanie. Would we be saying how brilliant she in the role had we not seen someone else completely flop? Probably. But would it have been as publicly rewarding and covered? Not a chance.

The impression that I get, especially from the little flame wars that were on Twitter after the NYT review, some Julie girls seem to be miffed that Lea is getting all this attention while Julie is just as good (or better) than her. It's...weird.

Both are hysterical - YAWIAM is my preference because Ramin...better than the movie - both are wonderful comics, and the physical comedy is top notch.

I am glad that Julie got the break she got - she IS talented and I'm sure big things will happen to her in the future. But why the constant undermining of Lea from those who support her? Will never understand. Lea is helping to keep the show running which benefits Julie and everyone else."



Exactly, I've see Beanie (UGH) and Julie (wonderful performance) but after seeing all these clips of Lea - Lea Michele is in a whole other league and far superior vocally and acting wise. I would't say Julie is better at all. Can't wait to see her live next Friday!!!

After reading all the raves and watching the clips it got me to thinking about another project that Lea's name kept popping up in with the conversation about casting and the most vocal posts in regards to that were to "Keep her as far away from it as possible!!" The role in question .... Elphaba in the film version of WICKED. I am curious if people might now think that might not have been a bad choice after all. Too late to make any difference now but doesn't hurt to think about "what it could have been".

Not touching any of that...

If you love Coronet Man...you know where to look!

The show will perform on Good Morning America this Friday.

I think she should do "Greatest Star" on GMA.

He is a biased hack who doesn't matter so it doesn't matter for the production.
