Is she the dancer who does that amazing arial flip? Hope she's leaving for a great new role. Maybe something in Dancin'.

is Lea back tonight?

I would think it’s safe to assume so. Both Julie and the FG Instagram have been on top of announcements and last said that Julie would be on for today’s matinee and that Leah would be back tonight…unless there’s a change closer to curtain.

Tova's back but Lea is out for today's matinee per FG site. Julie's on for the matinee."
I actually wonder if something else is up? Lea usually announces her absences (she did for Covid and her back injury) but she's been silent since yesterday."
Or maybe she is just sick in bed with the flu?"
Trust me, I'd normally agree but she was also posting on IG/replying to Tiktok comments. That's why I found it weird she did not announce her absence even in just an IG story.
But actually, it might also be because anything she posts becomes controversial and they're avoiding that. The post about her back injury resulted in multiple articles.
Doesn't matter - she's back tonight and is (unsurprisingly) marvelous!

Lea's post
Is it safe to say that since Lea and Tovah's casting, the rave reviews and word of mouth have helped increase the attendance of big celebs/personalities? Must be very exciting for the cast that they're getting all these opportunities!

Streisand is in New York this week. And this might be a every day thing.. but there is paparazzi parked in front of the theater.

I wonder what it would be like for her to watch someone performing the role she created. Could be pretty emotional.
I'd love for her to see Ramin because she likely influenced his being cast (directly or indirectly). I'm sure she would have loved having him as her Nicky Arnstein.
Overall, it just seems like it would be challenging for both women.

I doubt she will go. If she does, I would be thrilled. I think she'd enjoy it more than expected. But what do I know?

Not 100% sure but if she attended this past week I'm sure we would have heard by now, but we'll see what happens in the next few days!

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

I was around 16-17 when I first watched ''Glee'' and already loved ''The Sound of Music'' and ''Chicago'' as movie musicals, but it was certainly the show that made me go even deeper in movies musicals and theater, and I have been a Lea Michele's stan ever since. I live in Brazil, never got the chance to see her live, I was on Broadway in March and saw ''Funny Girl'' with Beanie. Then, when people started saying that Lea was going to do this made me go in denial. Both because it seemed impossible that she could get that role now and it certainly would be impossible to me to come back so soon to see her again.
But life works in funny ways and almost one week ago, I stood in a somehow not that freezing line for almost 3 hours, I got my ticket and had the PLEASURE to witness what a definitive performance of a role really is.
Lea is both technically perfect when comes to vocals, but also a really great actress in both comedy and drama, her comedy bits are more child like/tomboy-ish and when she has to grow, it shows depths. The chemistry with Ramin is unmatched. She really elevated a production that it's good without her, but never great.
And I probably loved ''People'' more, but there's a sense of history making moment when ''Parade'' starts. It is just musical theater heaven.
For that moment, I have to say, life was pretty damn good.
And Lea Michele is a star, I mean... the greatest star!

Who is Amber?"
Amber Ardolino is one of the ensemblists in the show; she was also in Hamilton, Moulin Rouge!, and Head Over Heels. She has over 550K TikTok followers at the moment, and a few of her videos have been viewed by millions.

She's the one who tells Fanny "Don't" in DROMP. She was/is also Ramin's leading lady in his Wrestling/Musical Concert developed by Jeremiah James - R's understudy in FG. The FG cast is keeping busy. Talented young woman. Her TikToks are a hoot.
