Funny Girl Shake Up
While I was in the theatre, another Broadway show made a shocking announcement. Beanie Feldstein, who has helmed the Funny Girl revival and was scheduled to leave in September, has announced that her last show will be July 31st. She gives a curious reason for her premature evacuation: “Once the production decided to take the show in a different direction, I made the extremely difficult decision to step away sooner than anticipated.” She does not say what this “different direction” is – except perhaps the desire to make audiences happy. Stay tuned.
