It’s been seven years since Glee ended, but it certainly is a television show that keeps on giving.
On Monday, the Broadway world exploded with the news that Lea Michele will replace Beanie Feldstein in the role of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl come September. Former Glee actress Jane Lynch will also be departing the show before Michele takes over. The announcement isn’t a surprising one as Michele, most known for her time in Glee and in Spring Awakening, has vocally coveted the role for years.
And that’s not an understatement either. As a former Glee fan myself, I am absolutely convinced the entire show was a psyop to eventually land Michele the role on Broadway one day. Not only did she sing “Don’t Rain On My Parade” in a pivotal moment in Glee‘s first season.
