Lea Michele shares her first look at the ‘Funny Girl’ rehearsals

From Rachel Berry to Fanny Brice.

Lea Michele shared a photo of her singing “Don’t Rain On My Parade” while rehearsing for her upcoming role in her resumption of Broadway “Funny Girl.”

The 35-year-old Glee graduate, who is to replace Beanie Feldstein in her iconic role – which made Barbra Streisand widely known – took a photo of Friday into her Instagram story.

“The amazing @ephieaardema took a photo today of me singing” Don’t Rain On My Parade “on the Broadway stage for the first time,” she wrote the photo, tagging her double, Ephie Aardema.

“@Ephieaardema you are amazing me [love] you !!! “she added.

The photo showed Michele, dressed in black leggings, a black sweater and choir shoes, performing a breathtaking Broadway song at the front of the stage, ahead of her September 6 debut.

Glee fans remember Rachel Berry performing the song in the first season of the show.

Michele later destroyed the house at the Tony Awards in 2010 when … sang the same melody.

Although the announcement about the casting marks the actress a full circle moment, it was not without controversy.

Feldstein shocked the Broadway community last month when she took to social media last month to announce her early departure from the show.

“When production decided to take the show in a different direction, I made the extremely difficult decision to leave earlier than expected,” she wrote cryptically.

Glee’s colleague Jane Lynch then announced her early retirement, but insisted it had nothing to do with the cast of her ex-girlfriend.

“I’m on vacation on August 14, and then I had five more shows and the flight is six hours long, so I thought, ‘Let’s end this now'” Lynch, 62, Playbill explained earlier this month.

Although Michele is best known for her work on the small screen, she is also a Broadway vet who made her debut at age 8 as Young Cosette in Les Misérables.

She later appeared in the productions of “Ragtime” and “Fiddler on the Roof” before initiating the role of Wendla Bergmann in “Spring Awakening.”

She came under fire in 2020 when Glee’s colleague Samantha Marie Ware accused her of being racist on set.

She then apologized, writing partially on Instagram: “I was clearly acting in a way that hurt other people.”
