Beanie Feldstein had the audience loving “Don’t Rain On My Parade”

Sure, she’s no Babs or Lea, but she wasn’t as bad as I thought she would be and at least she made the character her own and wasn’t just imitating Babs.

Thank you for sharing these. I am pleasant surprised by their quality and ashamed of my aesthetic assessment of the actress.

If it were a community theatre production in North Carolina, then maybe. But this is. It a Broadway caliber performance.

The others stand around and... stand, she clutches arms? What kind of production is this? And I like her voice. I'm still a little underwhelmed.

Beanie acted the hell out of this, but it's too small for the show and the medium. Lea is and always will be a floor show, which is why she was so well received. Hope she enjoys her moment, as her career is far less sustainable than Beanie's. Her being a total cunt doesn't help matters.

She looks and sounds like a talented amateur actor starring in a Funny Girl production in Nebraska.

It is ridiculous she headlined this show on Broadway.

She’s probably a nice person to be around though, so that’s something. I’ve liked her in the supporting film roles she’s done. She’ll be fine.

If you go to youtube and search "don't rain on my parade high school" you'll get dozens of high schoolers singing the song about as well as she does.

I'm not a fan of Lea for a lot of reasons, including her singing which I find overly affected, but Feldsteing should never have been cast.

Was Beanie an alum of Spotlightz Acting Camp?

Hello, Beanie's new wife, AKA OP.

Is that time dead caterwauling what counts for singing these days? I’m glad I only had to endure a YouTube clip instead of a 3-hour matinee performance.

Are we allowed to finally admit that the song itself is not that great and is wildly overrated?

I can’t believe the Yassss Kweens were out in full force defending this schlock. She’s horrendous.

Looks like a scene from Glee where Sue Sylvester has schemed to replace Rachel with a fatty to sink Mr Schue’s chances at nationals.

Woof! That chin.

Fuck you and your toxic chin crap, R14.

Why didn't they choose Lea Michele from the very start? Why??

They waited nearly 60 years to do a revival of Funny Girl, and the best they could come up with was Beanie? Beanie wasn't the worst, but she was kind of community theatre.

Audiences want Mary Ann from ‘Gilligan’s Island’ “ugly”, not Cornelius from ‘Planet of the Apes’ “ugly”, r17.

Exactly. It's like casting Scott Foley as the not hot friend on Felicity or Bradley Cooper as the nerdy buddy on Alias.

Mary Kim Kuhny did a better job of it in our production of it at Oak Park-River Forest High School in 1973.
