The Funny Girl revival opened on April 24, 2022, and starred Feldstein as Fanny, Jane Lynch as Mrs. Bryce, and Ramin Karimloo as Nick Arnstein.

Michele then replaced Feldstein in September, even though his contract doesn’t expire until early 2023.

Feldstein left the show in July, stating that the show was going in a different direction. Julie Benko, Fanny Brice’s understudy, took over the performances until Michele stepped in.

From the beginning of her career, the Glee star made it known that playing Fanny on Broadway was her dream.

Earlier this week, the haunting new docu-series called The Price Of Glee reprized his strained relationship with his late co-star Naya Rivera.

During the three-part limited series, Naya’s father claimed that his eldest son, who tragically died in 2020 during a boating trip with his son Josey on Lake Piru at the age of 33, and Michele regularly had “issues.” among them.

There was always a fight between them. Always. Everybody knew. Everybody saw it,” George claimed. “They hated each other but, at the same time, they respected each other’s talents.”

George also insisted that his daughter, who played Santana Lopez in the Fox musical-drama, never had any issues with any of the other cast members.

Before his passing, Rivera cleared the air about his long-rumored feud with Michele in his 2016 memoir, Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up.

“One of the Glee writers once said that Lea and I were like two sides of the same battery and that about sums us up,” Rivera wrote. “We’re both strong and competitive, not just with each other but with everyone, and that’s not a good combination.”

Naya continued, “As the show progressed, however, that friendship began to unravel, especially as Santana transitioned from a background character to one with bigger plots and more screen time.”

The Devious Maids actress went on to say that “Lea didn’t like sharing the spotlight” and that “Lea was much more sensitive” “when people offer feedback or criticism.”

If I had complained about someone or something, she would have assumed I was complaining about her,’ the mother-of-one recalled.

By season six, Naya claims that Michele “didn’t say a word to her” on set.

“Lea and I were definitely not the best of friends, and I doubt we’ll ever sit on her couch and eat kale together again, but the rumors of our ‘feud’ were blown out of proportion,” the late artist concluded.

Naya became the third major Glee star to die at age 30. In what was the beginning of the show’s behind-the-scenes disappearance, on July 13, 2013, Cory Monteith, who played Finn Hudson, was found dead of a drug overdose at age 31 in his Vancouver hotel room. , after taking a lethal combination of heroin. and alcohol.
