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.

Frank Rizzo Take two, and not a moment too soon. Lea Michele steps into one of Broadway’s most iconic roles, which in her mind — or at least the mind of Rachel Berry, the character she played in TV’s “Glee” — she was destined to play. And dammit, she’s right. Not that suddenly this otherwise uninspired and underproduced revival of “Funny Girl” is transformed into a revelatory classic. Instead Michele gives it what the revival previously lacked: charisma, astonishing vocals and assuredness — not to mention a killer fan base. It also had a backstage narrative that added to the drama following original star Beanie Feldstein’s departure, culminating in a casting coup that many felt should have been Michele’s in the first place.

Darren Criss watched his friend and former "Glee" co-star sing "Don't Rain on My Parade," this time not as Rachel Berry, but as Fanny Brice.  In the hit Fox show, Michele played Berry, who was an aspiring Broadway performer.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic A live album by Barbra Streisand that had originally been planned as her debut album in 1962, “Barbra Streisand — Live at the Bon Soir,” will finally get a release, 60 years after it was first penciled in as her recorded bow. At 24 songs, the set is undoubtedly much longer than what would have come out if Columbia had issued the live album six decades ago, as was first the plan. It comes out Nov. 4, 60 years to the week after Streisand’s shows at the Bon Soir club in Greenwich Village were recorded Nov. 4-6, 1962, just a little over a month after the 20-year-old theatrical sensation signed her Columbia deal. Ultimately the idea of releasing a live album as her debut was scrapped in favor of a 1963 studio recording, “The Barbra Streisand Album,” that had her recording 11 songs that were part of her nightclub repertoire. That decision is hard to second-guess, as her first album went on to win the Grammy for album of the year.
