5 celebrities who totally won’t be at Lea Michele’s ‘Funny Girl’ premiere
In the theater news of the week, Lea Michele has been announced to take over the role of Fanny Brice in Funny Girl on Broadway this September.
Lord, help that cast and crew.From Glee to Spring Awakening to The Mayor to Scream Queens, the actress has seemingly made enemies in nearly every production she’s ever been a part of.We all remember when her Glee co-star Samantha Ware aired the star’s awful behavior to the world in 2020 — including her threatening to “sh*t in [Samantha’s] wig” — and how name after name subsequently came out to share their own horror stories with Michele.Apparently, the casting team over at Funny Girl didn’t remember quite as well.As Michele’s curtain open draws nearer, here are five celebs who definitely won’t be seeing her Funny Girl debut:Ware shared the story that finally broke the dam on the open secret of her co-star’s Diva-dom.
She quote-tweeted a trite “#BlackLivesMatter” tweet from Michele, saying “Lmao, remember when you made my first television gig a living hell?!?!” as well as recounting “other traumatic microaggressions that made [her] question a career in Hollywood.”Several Glee stars including Alex Newell, Amber Riley, Heather Morris and Kevin McHale posted, shared, and/or liked tweets in support of Ware’s allegations.
Michele issued an apology, but the cat was way out of the bag.Willam appeared on Glee in season four alongside fellow Rupaul’s Drag Race alum Shangela as part of a Thanksgiving mash-up performance of “Let’s Have A Kiki” and “Turkey Lurkey Time”.
