This morning, Lea Michele posted a TikTok of her with a script at Ripley-Grier in what seems to be a new workshop featuring her, Jonathan Groff, Donna Murphy, and Anne L. Nathan.
The caption of the post reads, "Hmm what might we be up to…? "
Does anyone have any ideas/inside info about what this could be?

Don't know but sounds more promising than Chess, lol.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Might they just be involved in Lea's Carnegie Hall concert taking place next month?

Oh good call. Or it's a project in early development.

Doubtful there would be a full script for a one-night concert (or rehearsals at Ripley Grier without an orchestra, for that matter).

I don't think this is what it is, but god, a stage adaption of Funny Face with Lea Michele as Jo, Jonathan Groff as Dick, and Donna Murphy as Maggie would be divine.

I could definitely see Lea Michele trying to parlay her success into a new film adaptation. But this would imply that Jonathan Groff is the film's Nick, and I'm not sure about that casting...

And it's a project very early in development, y'all. A table read.
