Chris Colfer is letting his opinion be known when it comes to Lea Michele and her controversial casting in Funny Girl!
As you know, the drama surrounding the Broadway musical revival goes deep — with Lea having her eye on the role of Fanny Brice and making it known to the world since her days in Glee. She only got her wish after the original choice for the role, Beanie Feldstein, faced some heavy criticism. And how could we forget that loaded statement in her social media post announcing her departure:
Ouch!
After rumors producers were blindsided just like fans by Beanie’s departure, they set the record straight and said that WASN’T the case at all — but it wasn’t enough to convince some people. Especially since their statement was almost word-for-word exactly the same as the 29-year-old’s. Hmm…

In June 2020 she was accused of “traumatic microaggressions” and racist abuse by fellow alum Samantha Ware while the two were filming the TV show.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Theater veteran Tovah Feldshuh has performed in 10 Broadway shows over the last five decades, garnering acclaim and Tony Awards love for “Yentl” and “Golda’s Balcony,” among others. But there’s a unique thrill to her current role on stage, as the endearing mother of Lea Michele’s Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl.” “I get entrance applause at the top of the stairs,” she says. “It’s kind of fabulous.” The crowd at Broadway’s August Wilson Theatre has been nothing short of euphoric ever since Feldshuh and Michele joined the company of “Funny Girl” in September. And the stakes couldn’t have been higher. The revival, which opened 60 years after Barbra Streisand’s star-making turn in the beloved musical, was plagued by negative reviews, bad buzz and wilting ticket sales.
