‘Funny Girl’ Star Tovah Feldshuh on Sharing the Stage With Lea Michele and What the Talmud Says About Gossip
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.

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.
