Lea Michele isn’t going anywhere!

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Lea Michele’s run in “Funny Girl” doesn’t end until Sept. 3, but she’s already plotting her return to Broadway. In fact, the actor-singer tells me she has her next gig lined up. “I already know what it is,” she teases. But Michele is being tight-lipped on details. “You know it,” she says, hinting it could be a revival of some sort. “It’s very different musically,” she adds. Michele made a triumphant return to the stage in September when she replaced Beanie Feldstein in the first revival of “Funny Girl” since Barbra Streisand originated the role of Fanny Brice in 1964.

Lea Michele and her husband Zandy Reich, are facing a parent’s worse nightmare. On Wednesday, the Broadway star revealed that they were at the hospital with their son Ever, who is 2. Michele had to step away from two performances as Fanny in Funny Girl while they dealt with the “scary health issue.”The 36-year-old shared a photo on her Instagram story with her hand over Ever’s, who was wearing a hospital bracelet.

Frank Rizzo Traveling from the relative calm of the Clinton era to more perilous, contemporary times of mobs, mendacity and political mayhem, the much-admired but short-lived musical “Parade” has now found its moment in a brilliant Broadway revival. A decade after its Broadway bow in 1998 under the direction of Harold Prince, when the show received awards but not a lengthy run, a significant re-do directed by Rob Ashford at London’s Donmar Warehouse in 2007 gave the challenging show and its dark subject matter a stronger structure and new life. Last fall’s acclaimed gala presentation at New York City Center built on that work, offering a stark and searing passion play of a production, complete with broad strokes, moral lessons and harsh indictments. It also revealed the work as an essential American epic that resoundingly speaks to our times. Now on Broadway, it boldly fills in a vast national canvas, from its Civil War prologue to its modern-times coda.

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. On various occasions throughout the duration the show, Michele belts out one of musical's signature songs, "Don't Rain on My Parade."   In a truly full circle moment, a fictional story became reality when Michele took over as Fanny Brice, a role famously held by Barbra Streisand and later Beanie Feldstein and her "Glee" co-star was quick to show support.  Darren Criss showed support for his former "Glee" co-star by attending the Broadway production of "Funny Girl" where she recently took over the role of Fanny Brice.  (Bruce Glikas/WireImage) Michele posted a picture to her Instagram of Criss, along with his wife Mia in attendance at the show.  "The amount of times this guy has heard me sing Don't Rain on My Parade," Michele captioned the post.
