Lea Michele has been tapped to step in and lead the Broadway revival of the beleaguered "Funny Girl" this fall, an announcement made just hours after current star Beanie Feldstein revealed she was leaving the musical sooner than anticipated due to the show taking a "different direction." The high-profile casting change represents another step toward a return to the spotlight and respectability for Michele after former "Glee" castmates in 2021 accused the actor of behavior that was interpreted as racist and bullying.
