Lady Gaga-Funny Girl-WOW

Just saw that Lady Gaga is coming to Broadway! Will it be the next Hello Dolly? Or is it a big mistake?

This has been confirmed nowhere. Not even as a "maybe".  It's just some wishful thinking on someone's part.

I saw this last night as well.  Won't happen.  Remember about 7 years ago there were all those rumors that Lea Michelle was going to do the revival of "Funny Girl?

I'll leave you with that.

Why are there six million threads on this?

[GeorgeandDot]

I want to see Gaga do Evita. I'd rather see Jessie Mueller do Funny Girl.

"Why are there six million threads on this?"

There are four. And two of them are obviously an accidental double-post.

By the same token, these naysayers could be wrong as well.  Lady Gaga has been known to do unpredictable things with her career; a Broadway star turn is not out of the realm of possibilities, but perhaps later on in her career.  Right now, she's a hot commodity on the left coast.

But the thread isn't IF she will ever be on broadway, but that she IS going to be in Funny Girl sometime soon.  Very different.

And, let's not forget that Lady Gaga is opening up a 2 year residency in December in Las Vegas - through Dec 2020.

That was not my response, if you care to read what I actually said.  Anyway, I just realized that the plot of Funny Girl and A Star is Born have a lot of similarities.

I’m a Hollywood studio would happily buy out part or all of her Vegas residencey contract if they want her for a big blockbuster. (Aka Disney for Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Meg, or The Evil Queen or one of countless other characters in a Disney live action fairytale)

Here’s an article from a Gaga fansite that credits Rosie O’Donnell with announcing the news. So, make of that what you will.

Rosie, I'm sure, was joking or looking for attention.  Really, don't fall for this crap.

[LimelightMike]

The Daily News picked up the story...

 

If this were true, why is Broadway not reporting it?

[nealb1]

Yes, that link is from a Lady Gaga fansite.  They publish a lot of info on there.  It's not an official site that she endorses or anything like that.  

[TotallyEffed]

Leave it to the internet to take a little rumor and make it into an official press release. IF this is actually happening, it won’t be for at least two or three years.

[faceleg]

Yeah, remember on her talk show she used to spread rumors of being in the movie version of Chicago to try an make it happen? Well before the movie version ever came out?
