The reviews for Lea Michele's Funny Girl are in...

[poisoned_summer]

...and as expected, they are all raves.

Critics unanimously praise Lea Michele’s performance as Fanny Brice in Broadway’s revival of #FunnyGirl:

“The ‘Glee’ star is stupendous in the role Barbra Streisand made famous, turning the 1964 musical into something better than we know it to be.” - @nytimes pic.twitter.com/L95dr1AW9j

I hate it when shitty people win

Boooooooooo 😒

Fuck her racist ass. I hope all this press jump starts peoples’ memory about e specifics of how she made people on the set of Glee (and multiple other shows on Broadway, right?) feel like shit.

I mean, I don't think anyone doubted that she would be amazing in it. But she shouldn't have gotten this role in the first place

It’s official. We need an ontd’er to infiltrate the critics circle.

there are a few comparison videos of beanie and lea up and i didn’t realize beanie was SO bad lol? she doesn’t even sound good enough for a high school production, let alone a broadway show. i would’ve been so pissed if i paid $300 to see her lol

I have no dog in this fight except I do not like Lea Michele but...well damn.

i thought beanie sounded bad and the understudy everyone is praising, julie benko, while lovely also sounds pretty mediocre. lea sounds great continuing her best barbra streisand impression.

lmao Beanie sounds like a cartoon.

Maybe I'm projecting but I lol'ed @ how they picked pictures for the screencap where Beanie looks like a naive buffoon while Lea is confidently giving I'm better and I know it energy lol
