A Funny Girl Revival is inevitable and I wanted to hear from you guys who you think would be an excellent choice for the role.
Obviously Idina and Lea are in the running with their recent renditions of "Don't Rain On My Parade", but who else?
Feel free to post Youtube links, etc. to fierce female belters!
One of my first votes: Caissie Levy

Posted: 8/30/10 at 8:44pmWait....maybe Funny Girl could be the musical debut for Beiber and SmileyMiley rather than Grease?

Posted: 8/30/10 at 10:29pmSeriously, I don't think either Menzel or Michele are in the running as far as the people producing the revival are concerned.

Personally, I don't think it will be decided by a vote.

I was listening to this random podcast last weekend where Kristin Chenoweth and Stephanie J Block were interviewed about their dream projects. Kristin said her dream role is Eliza Doolittle and that she would also love to produce one day. Stephanie said her dream role is Fanny Brice and joked that Kristin Chenoweth should produce said revival of Funny Girl.
What is more outlandish, Stephanie J Block being given the role of Fanny Brice, Kristin Chenoweth producing a musical, or Kristin playing Eliza Doolittle? I love them both as performers but I find all of these possibilities a big stretch.
