What's Beanie Feldstein Thinking Right Now?

She's eating ice cream.

"Yummy! This is delicious. I want 12 more!"

I wonder twat the Beanie is doing tonight.

The sound clips floating around of Lea singing are thrilling. Beanie needs to grab some ice cream and get out of the country. This isn't going to be pretty...

Regardless of what one may think of LM, personally, it was clear she was much more suited to the role than Beanie from the beginning. I think LM learned the Funny Girl score before she could talk.

Hello, Gorgeous!

But it's MY dream!!!

Ben, bring me the ax!

Good for Lea

Reading the comments from people who went last night, the thing that is surprising me is that they are saying how funny Lea is in the first act and how moving she is in the second.

I really didn't think she would be either.

"Well, she may have gotten four standing ovations before intermission, but I had a party when I was a little girl and I dressed as Fanny Brice. So let's call it even."

No Tony eligibility for Lea. Therein lies her wig-shitting curse.

And ? Just like Reba, she will go down as reviving a lackluster show with the wrong leading lady and getting rave reviews in the process. Im sure she can live with that.

She had people start standing ovations for her.

Her reviews are mixed at best.

R9 Again who are actually making those comments?

This woman is Tracey Flick personified. I doubt much of this praise is genuine and not manufactured.

I went to a Broadway chat message board and regulars had gone last night.

They all said that Lea was great.

So the praise isn't all just coming from troll farms.

Don't Rain...........

Curtain call.

I would not be surprised if the Tony Committee awards Lea a Special Tony Award for this

which would drive Beanie into therapy

Lea sounds good!

I never could get myself to give Beanie Baby a listen.

Lea shouts a lot while singing.

I’m upset and cutting my labia.

So is this bitch going to be the new LuPone?

LuPone originated roles.

Cuntface is sloppy seconds at best.

Hi Beanie / r23!

Beanie never shit in someone’s wig and she can read…so I’m gonna guess she’s fine

I see the Beanie Babies are here...

Beanie already had her temper tantrum when she left more than a month early. But it will burn when Lea gets a cast album that Beanie didn't.

A cast album that all of 100 people will buy.

Beanie was delusional. So much smoke had been blown up her ass by Ben Platt, her daddy and mommy, that she believed she would triumph on Broadway because it was her "destiny." It all came crashing down because she didn't have the talent to lead a Broadway musical, and she blamed everyone else for her troubles. Good riddance. Welcome Lea.

That's the reaction you get when the audience is packed with your friends.

She's thinking she can have thirds again

r30...it just chaps your ass that shes getting raves, doesnt it ?

Bitch please. Michele does NOT have many friends.

"This woman is Tracey Flick personified."

Do you know who I am?

I'm an AMERICAN!

I just pulled a flamin hot Cheeto out of my cunt!

Corn? When did I eat corn?

[quote]I went to a Broadway chat message board

((((shudder))))

[quote] Just being realistic. I couldn't care less is she is great or terrible.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised Lea Michele is good in the role. She's a CUNT and she's talented. Both things are true.

Lea didn’t have any friends in the audience. I think you can guess why.

I'll just rewatch the movie and save $250. No need to see a Barbra impersonation.

I keep seeing this. That sour Vulture writer, who obviously hoped to be able to write about a disappointing opening, developed his whole piece from it. But if it were that easy, why didn't amiable Beanie have the appearance of a sensational opening night last spring? SHE doesn't lack friends, fans, and family in New York. It's the main reason she was cast in the thing in the first place.

Maybe Beanie can return to B’way in a revival of HAIRSPRAY. As to which role she plays — mother v daughter — is up for debate.

Beanie will be returning to B'way in a revival of JUMBO in the title role.

She isn’t tracey flick. But her character rachel berry was a total ripoff. That whole glee pilot is a ripoff of election. Watch them back-to-back.

Beanie is thinking about pizza and cake.

When did DL start loving wig-shitter Lea? Just because she can sing better than Beanie, low bar? This is a show that was never meant for a revival. Barbra was the show.

She's thinking oh shit did I accidentally start the Ms. Flo v. Olivia feud?

Mr. Weinberger, Beanie Feldstein is eating a meatball sandwich right out on the stage! And she's been passing notes!

Beanie is thinking about starring in "Aunt Bee: The Musical" since she's already mastered the look.

Beanie got standing ovations too, actually

Sweetie, standing ovations are de rigeur in American theatrical culture right now. However, Beanie never received standing os after every vocal number BECAUSE SHE SUCKED.

Lea Michele only got SO's after every number because the place was packed with her friends and supporters. This will never happen again

"Piercing and unpleasant when it gets any higher than her chest, fading and pitchy when it descends even a few steps, it’s simply not a sound you expect to hear on Broadway. Styne and lyricist Bob Merrill wrote some stunners for Funny Girl, including “People” and “Don’t Rain on my Parade.” The latter song sits in Feldstein’s narrow comfort range, and so she blasts it out — particularly its final note — with foghorn force (if not phrasing). Everything else, though, goes sour."

[quote]Lea Michele only got SO's after every number because the place was packed with her friends and supporters. This will never happen again

The theater will place plain-clothed ushers in strategic positions to lead the standing ovations. It will be at every performance.

Leas looks like a young Sandra Bernhard in op's pic.

Wig shitter is already taking off tonight.

Two performances in.

Disgusting.

R58 That is her contract, idiot.

So what R59?

You don't take a night off after only performing two shows. No real performer does that.

[quote] What's Beanie Feldstein Thinking Right Now?

[italic] I can't leave the brownie pan uneven like that. I'll just even it out....and then maybe take another slice....

What I want to know is, why the radio silence from Barbra? She basically anointed Lea as her heir a few years back.

Said it before and I will say it again- Beanie’s beautiful performance as Fannie Brice rivaled Carol Channing’s in “Hello Dolly”, and Mandy Patinken’s in “Evita”. Simply stunning. She should be proud of her Broadway legacy, and I’m sure we will see her soon.

[quote]You don't take a night off after only performing two shows. No real performer does that.

It was all negotiated to make sure Lea didn't wear out her voice and so alternatives got a shot at performing.

You want her to say, "I don't care what our contract says, you're not going on Julie! I AM!!!!"?

Surely, you are not that stupid.

Fuck that shit.

[quote]It was all negotiated to make sure Lea didn't wear out her voice

And again, I will tell you that a professional works eight shows a week. They have voice trainers to help keep it in shape. Ask Patti Lupone. If Lauren Bacall could do it, there's no reason why WigShitter can't.

It's weak to only do two shows and then take a night a night off because you need vocal rest.

LAME.

[quote]What I want to know is, why the radio silence from Barbra? She basically anointed Lea as her heir a few years back.

She never anointed Lea. Shit, the Michele fangurls are an insane bunch.

Lea asked for a picture with Barbra once, and Streisand told her no.

I don't think Lea taking Thursdays off, during her run is wrong. Benko who has been playing the role after Feldstein's departure will play the role every Thursday. I think after the allegations that have been made about LM it looks good that she is willing to share the role. it makes her look like a jolly good sport. She is still doing, what, five nights a week? They still close Broadway on Mondays, right?

I think it's great that actress gets a guaranteed day once a week to perform in the show.

I think it’s hilarious that she asked Barbra Streisand for a fan photo and Barbra told her no.

Beanie last night.

R70 Barbara won't take pictures with peasants

R72 Lea misunderstood. I told her, to call the Olin Mills at the Malibu Mall and make an appointment and I would gladly sit with her. It was a buy 1 get two free deal.

Damn right R72

In reading all the reviews, she seems overrated at best.

What Beanie is thinking about...How to sue her fucking backstabbing agent, who is the Lea(I loved Cory the GFP drug addict soooo much-Fucking drugged out Fag). And the Exec Producers of FG!!!

who is that cunt Lea's agent too. Because I want to sue the fuck outta these fucking assholes.

I want $$$$$ and lots of Food. Beanie

r67....youre a fucking liar and have exposed yourself as the hater you are...

I thought I read somewhere that they have the same agent...it could be some other kind of management though

R78, those are two rough looking broads.

Lea's face in that pic looks as if Streisand just cunted her one good.

Benko doing Thursday nights was part of taking care of Benko. They needed her to do all the post-Beanie, pre-Lea performances, so it was only reasonable that she continued to do one show a week, if for her pride alone, and making sure they had someone they could trust. They have created a "star" in Benko, and they will smartly have her do the national tour, and she will sell tickets. Out of a real Beanie shitshow, they've saved this thing.

Having the same agent is BAD!! Lea was signed 2 months before Beanie was fired. The main agent obviously knew& the Exec Producers also knew that Beanie's replacement was already signed (Evil Lea)' That is a "MAJOR CONFLICT OF INTEREST" 4 the main agent and the corporation he works for(as well as the Exec Producer). I won a 100 million settlement through arbitration for a stockbroker who was fucked over by a corporation with a major Conflict of interest. The agent has a massive problem with signing Beanie's replacement 2 months before she was pressured to quit (or was fired)

I’m hungry!!!

[quote] She never anointed Lea. Shit, the Michele fangurls are an insane bunch. Lea asked for a picture with Barbra once, and Streisand told her no.

......

r78's photo — damn.

Those two broads have on more spackle than a rental apartment built in the 1970s.

Is Lea a Jewish princess?

I agree it’s super sketchy R83. Did Beanie fire him?

I dont think so. How do you know the producers didnt tell Beanie that it wasnt working out and that they were actively seeking a replacement months ago ? That could explain her lackluster attitude, the multiple missed performances, and her quitting when they signed Michele. Remember...all that happened within days.

Sending a gift is not anointing someone.

Compare it to Streisand praising Gaga's talent and wanting her to play her daughter in GYPSY, it's small potato's

[quote]What I want to know is, why the radio silence from Barbra? She basically anointed Lea as her heir a few years back.

R62 I thought she anointed Celine Dion her heir (and almost-equal) years ago.
