Lea Michele sneaked a cheeky behind-the-scenes snap from the upcoming Funny Girl revival
The show was nominated for a multitude of awards, including eight Tonys, before Barbra took the role on the big screen too in 1968.
Taking to Instagram to share her excitement following her casting, Lea wrote: ‘A dream come true is an understatement. I’m so incredibly honoured to join this amazing cast and production and return to the stage playing Fanny Brice on Broadway. See you September 6th. @funnygirlbwy #FUNNYGIRL.’ Lea’s notable role as Rachel Berry involved the star singing almost every song from the musical, including My Man, Don’t Rain on My Parade, and I’m the Greatest Star.In fact, after Rachel graduated, she actually went on to star in Funny Girl on Broadway too, so maybe it was just meant to be! Lea will also have had plenty of practice performing the hits after six seasons of Glee.
And it seems like Lea has been manifesting the role away from the small screen, as she told Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in 2017 that she ‘really hoped’ to appear in Funny Girl herself one day.
