TaylorNation Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) "Feldstein’s voice lets her down. Piercing and unpleasant when it gets any higher than her chest, fading and pitchy when it descends even a few steps, it’s simply not a sound you expect to hear on Broadway. Feldstein cannot sing them. It seems brutal to place a woman in such an exposed position, where a whole Broadway production rests on notes she can’t sustain" x "When Beanie Feldstein makes her first appearance as Ziegfeld Follies comedian Fanny Brice, stares into an invisible mirror and delivers her famous opening self-affirmation (”Hello, gorgeous!”), the crowd goes wild. But then she starts to sing." x "A star is not yet born in the revival of Funny Girl. Beanie Feldstein is just a gleam in her producer’s eye... her singing is as studied and limited as her scene work. She has a thin, nasally voice that no amount of manipulation by sound designer Brian Ronan can coax into sonic depth" x "She never quite makes the material soar, and this is a rickety vehicle that needs a supernova to put gas in its tank." x "It took nearly 60 years for “Funny Girl” to receive a Broadway revival – and theater aficionados will probably spend the next 60 years scratching their heads wondering how and why Beanie Feldstein got cast as Fanny Brice" x "To rip the bandage off quickly: Feldstein is not stupendous. She’s good... You root for her to raise the roof, but she only bumps against it a little." x For context this is the long-awaited revival that was rumoured to star Gaga for a hot second. There were also rumours a while ago for a Ryan Murphy-produced revival starring Lea Michele. Which is why everyone was confused when Beanie Feldstein got cast I saw it a couple of weeks ago and it was really cute, but she clearly doesn't have what it takes to sing these songs. What makes things even more hysterical is that we know the original producers of this show were her dad, Jonah Hill and Ben Platt's DAD, so this is yet another case of nepotism gone wrong Edited April 25, 2022 by TaylorNation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she talked about auditioning to the show. apparently they were the initial backers of the show before they even looked for producers/investors. it was all over the Broadway boards, but the posts have mysteriously been scrubbed off and there was also a separate item on deuxmoi. and didn't she say that she was the only one who auditioned? that's what I meant Edited April 25, 2022 by TaylorNation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Up Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I understand wanting to give your child opportunities, but you have to be realistic. And if you're the child receiving the opportunities, you shouldn't jump on anything thrown your way because of stuff like this. Have some self-awareness. Surely she and the people around her knew she wasn't prepared for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
