‘Who are you now?’ ‘Funny Girl’ and a Broadway revival’s identity crisis
After decades of false starts and rumored stars, a highly anticipated revival of Funny Girlfinally arrives on Broadway. Beanie Feldstein steps into the role of comedian and stage star Fanny Price, made famous by she-who-must-not-be-named.Joined by Jane Lynch as her mother with a perfectly timed double-take, and Ramin Karimloo, her leading man with a flashy six-pick and a voice more appropriate for that French revolution musical, this Funny Girl fails to grow up.
