NEW YORK — Jane Lynch is keeping quiet on any drama surrounding this week’s shakeup at Broadway’s “Funny Girl.”
The 61-year-old Emmy winner — whose role on “Only Murders in the Building” scored her another nomination Tuesday — is shedding light on why she and former “Glee” co-star Lea Michele won’t be sharing the stage when the latter takes over Beanie Feldstein’s starring role as Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl” this fall.
“We have been in touch about it,” Lynch told Deadline. “It was just a really strong idea to have [Tovah] Feldshuh [who will succeed Lynch as Mrs. Brice] and Lea premiere together. That’s the only reason [we won’t appear together].”
