This is the same producer who had to cancel Funny Girl cause he couldn't raise the money...

No, it isn't. Producer of Rebecca is Ben Sprecher. Producer of Funny Girl was Bob Boyett.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

The question that I have is this. If this was the same person who couldn't get the money to do the revival of Funny Girl, what made investors so sure that he could have gotten the money needed for Rebecca?

Sprecher/et al are the producers with the rights to Exorcist with Brooke Shields that just premiered in LA, the tour of Little House on the Prarie musical a few years ago and the upcoming Frank Wildhorn musical Havana.

Havana was supposed to premiere a few years ago (if not decades ago by different producers) but the theatre in Pasadena where it was to premiere went bankrupt.

Rebecca seems like their only B'way ambition for now.

to answer the above question-Equity Actors can audition at anytime for anything, regardless of what their contract says. The only thing that holds them to the contract is the "out" which stipulates the amount of notice that they need to give before leaving the production.

Other than that, did you enjoy the play Mrs Lincoln?

Don't worry, they'll come up with the money for such a sure-fire hit. After all, it received rave reviews in Helsinki.
