Showtune Sunday: All about “I’m The Greatest Star” from “Funny Girl” with Barbra, Lea & more!
What a difference a few years makes. I read the other day that the price of tickets to Broadway’s Funny Girl once Lea Michele takes over as Fanny Brice are through the roof. I had wondered if her career would ever really recover after all the terrible publicity in 2020 about her treatment of co-stars and extras on Glee and other shows.
Now Michele is taking over for Beanie Bernstein in Funny Girl who seems to have been given a push out of the show earlier than planned. I don’t have any videos of Beanie singing I’m The Greatest Star but I do have the original Barbra Streisand, Michele, and even Sutton Foster for some reason.
Enjoy!

Despite the bad press Lea had been getting from former co-workers and social media trolls I hope her fans and Funny Girl supporters get their anticipated money’s worth on opening night.

They say rhe tickets are selling and many hope to come back for a second look.
