She's the greatest star! Just last night, Emmy-nominated Glee star Lea Michele began her run as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl on Broadway.
Check out photos of her first night celebration with Spring Awakening pals Jonathan Groff and John Gallagher, Jr., GLEE creator Ryan Murphy, director Michael Mayer, Drew Barrymore, Zachary Quinto and more!
She joins Tovah Feldshuh as "Mrs. Brice,"Tony & Olivier Award nominee Ramin Karimloo stars as "Nick Arnstein". 2022 Tony & Drama Desk Award nominee & Chita Rivera Award winner Jared Grimes stars as "Eddie Ryan".
Tony Award winner Michael Mayer directs this brand-new Funny Girl, featuring the classic score by Tony, Grammy and Academy Award winner Jule Styne and lyrics by Tony Award nominee and Grammy Award winner Bob Merrill, (comprising additional songs from Styne & Merrill). The original book by Isobel Lennart, from an original story by Miss Lennart, is revised by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.
This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she'd never be a star, but then something funny happened-she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
