After years of playing an obsessive theater kid who dreams of landing the role of Fanny Brice in 'Funny Girl', Lea Michele is taking over the part in real life.
Lea Michele has for years been proving the richness of her upper register – perhaps a little too pointedly — for the Fanny Brice role, like the six times she performed a Funny Girl song in character on Glee or when she charged down the center aisle more than ten years ago at the 64th annual Tony Awards singing “Don’t Rain on My Parade.
Michele’s voice has never been in question, but her personality has been the subject of much criticism from her colleagues. When Michele tweeted a supportive statement for the Black Lives Matter movement after the 2020 murder of George Floyd, some of her Glee castmates were quick to accuse her of hypocrisy.
Season six-star, Samantha Marie Ware said Michele’s “traumatic microaggressions,” were a regular feature of their collaboration. Ware, who is Black, recalled one incident when Michele threatened toIn a vague response to Michele’s casting, Ware tweeted Monday that “Broadway upholds whiteness.” Yes, I’m online today. Yes, I see y’all. Yes, I care. Yes, im affected. Yes, I’m human. Yes, I’m Black. Yes, I was abused. Yes, my dreams were tainted. Yes, Broadway upholds whiteness. Yes, Hollywood does the same. Yes, silence is complicity. Yes, I’m loud. Yes, I’d do it again.
