A few days ago, Lea Michele made her Broadway debut in a new adaptation of
Funny Girl
, and the least we can say is that this premiere was a triumph.
According to
Variety , the
Glee
star
hadn't even stepped onto the stage at the August Wilson Theater as Fanny Brice before the audience rose to applaud.
A fervor that was also confirmed during the finale, the actress and singer having received no less than six standing ovations.
A real consecration for the one whose obsession for this piece and its memorable tunes goes back to the time when she gave voice as Rachel Berry in the famous musical series which popularized it.
An evidence
Indeed, Lea Michele had had the opportunity to perform most of the great
Funny Girl
classics , including
Don't Rain on My Parade
and
I'm the Greatest Star
, over the six seasons of
Glee
.
Which means that this role, originally played by Barbra Streisand in 1968, was more or less intended for her.
Finally, during this premiere were present many personalities, including Jonathan Groff, Zachary Quinto, Drew Barrymore and Ryan Murphy, who is none other than the creator of
Glee
.
