Lea Michele taking over for Beanie Feldstein in ‘Funny Girl’ on Broadway

I seem to remember her going after this role was a blind item, but I couldn't find it in my searches.

How blind could it be - she's been audtioning publicly for it her entire life. The switch from Beanie to Lea is a little messy, no matter how you slice it. Beanie was going to be great, more like the real Fanny. But she can't do the songs. (ironically, apparently the real Fanny Brice wouldn't be able to either) Her reviews weren't great, sales slumped, it sucked.

She was always so try hard - not sure what happened, whose advice finally got through, but I think Lea Michele has handled this extremely well. It was very messy, but she's triumphed - and she leaned in to the twitter jokes etc. Instead of getting all pissy about it. Which I appreciate.
