VicHugo Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) The amazing actress who did this in London wasn’t a vocal powerhouse either, just a good singer, but she had the talent to play this character like no one else. Beanie will never be one and only Sheridan Smith. Edited April 25, 2022 by VicHugo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepNoMore Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Lea Michele would have killed this but it’s too bad she made so many enemies in real life. Gaga would have been the best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaticAndroid Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The word-of-mouth once this started previews was just... Literally lash after lash. And I didn't believe it was that bad at first but this vid from their sitzprobe is wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blewis1103 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I don’t know how the producers or whoever could set her up like this. If you’re going to tackle a role originated by BARBRA STREISAND, you have to be at the very least exceptional. That clip, bless her heart, is a travesty. I feel bad for Beanie tbh. I can see what they thought they were doing, but if she can’t hit the notes or do the belts, find someone else or leave Funny Girl in the vault.

harwee Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 "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" Broadway critics truly are the most brutal of them all.

It takes more than just being able to hit the notes, you have to believe what she’s singing. Lea does the former and not the latter and Fanny can’t do either.

gui Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Honestly I can’t believe Ryan took all this time to revive Funny Girl and when he finally did he put Beanie Feldstein as the lead like… Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one young celebrity meant to play Fanny that's Lea Michele. She even LOOKS like a brunette Barbra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
