She was asked last night by Andy Cohen when she's returning to Broadway, she smiled and said "Maybe soon?"

Any ideas?

Hopefully as an usher --- or maybe a concession stand worker?

Doesn't Ryan Murphy no longer have the rights to Funny Girl?

Until last October, he still had the rights and Lea was talking that she did a concert with many songs of the score. She also said that she told Ryan that now she feels that she's ready to play the part.

I'd welcome just about anything but Funny Girl, her past performances of the score were always so wooden.

I wonder if there are other revivals quietly being worked on she's attached to?

Until this new project is announced by other people involved and mention her, I tend not to believe anything she says. She is very much into self promotion. Her TV show just got cancelled, she is looking for work!

I know a lot of you can’t stand her, but I always find her very enjoyable on Watch What Happens Live.

She's so wooden and is too put-together in a way. Any role requiring an ounce of roughness, grit, or quirkiness is terribly wrong for her. That's the main reason I can't stand the idea of her as Elphaba in the Wicked movie. Act One needs the quirk and tomboyishness, Act Two she's glamorous, but she's still kind of gritty (in the best performances, anyway).

Sorry to derail, I just have a strong STRONG opinion of her.

She's been hired for the 2019 revival of Funny Girl.... as Jessie Mueller's personal assistant.

Will her ego get its own dressing room?

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Not so. Sonia Friedman Productions has had the Broadway option since securing rights for The West End.

Keep. Her. Away. Lady Gaga, please!

Lea Michele can act and sing circles around Lady GaGa.

But you know, people just don't like her. I think she would be great as Elphaba and Fanny Brice, but at this point both projets seems odd to cast her after such a long time.
