NEW YORK — Hello, gorgeous.
After weeks of chaos and drama, Lea Michele opened her first night of “Funny Girl” to half a dozen standing ovations at the August Wilson Theatre Tuesday night.
The “Glee” alum took over as Fanny Brice for Beanie Feldstein, who left the Broadway production over plans to go in a “different direction,” she announced in July. Tovah Feldshuh has also replaced the revival’s original star Jane Lynch as Mrs. Brice, Fanny’s overbearing mother.
