No one could accuse Beanie Feldstein of playing it safe.
Starring in the first Broadway revival of "Funny Girl," in the role that catapulted Barbra Streisand into the stratosphere, the captivating star of "Booksmart" has not let the fear of being compared to her idol stand in the way of her theatrical dreams.
Feldstein recently played Monica Lewinsky in the FX series "Impeachment: American Crime Story." That role certainly has its share of baggage, but tackling Fanny Brice threatens accusations of sacrilege.
