Lea Michele and Tovah Feldshuh have been starring on Broadway in Funny Girl for the past month and they’ve been getting rave reviews for their performances!

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.

Chris Colfer‘s quote about his Glee co-star Lea Michele is going viral.

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.
