Lea Michele Says Jonathan Groff Cried During Her 1st Funny Girl Performance | Drew Barrymore Show

I just saw Lea Michele as Fanny Brice on Broadway - SHE OWNS THAT ROLE - she got 6 standing ovations in the first act ALONE. AMAZINNNGGGGG! YOU LOVE HER, YOU HATE HER, BUT YOU CAN NEVER DENY THIS GIRL OF HER TALENT.

She seems to have really grown up, it was a true pleasure to see her talents as Fanny. I believe in second chances nor do I get off on pretending to be a morally superior person so rooting for her that this is real

This girl gets it. She know who she was and now she understands how one can change. Through humility. Through talent. Through taking personal inventory about her character defects and simply making a living amends to herself, her family and her fans.

So happy for her. She is truly talented

Lea Michelle is the absolute real deal. She is such an incredible talent. She has it all. To see her finally realize her dream to play Fanny Brice on Broadway is such a thrill. I saw her and Jonathan Groff in Spring Awakening when it was just an obscure (not for long!) musical about kids in 19th century Germany. She is a rare gift. People can say what they what they want about her. It doesn’t change how profoundly talented she is. Was she a bit of a diva on the set of Glee? Maybe. People do grow and change over time. Wait what?! All the haters were ready to pounce when Lea was tapped to replace Beanie Feldstein. (Who had no business playing a role that required power vocals. She’s a great actress. Her voice isn’t bad but she could not carry this role). No one can say anything to Lea now except ENCORE! She is brilliant. She was born to play this role and I’m so thrilled for her. ⭐️

I was one of the fans who waited with flowers on her opening night and it felt like such a culmination of a journey we've all been on. Love Lea so much!

People say such terrible things about her. She's seems like she's grown and was lovely and gentle in this interview. Very happy to see her dreams come true.

Lea is incredibly talented, her voice is just incredible. I also love the fact that Lea and Johnathan have been such best friends for so long and have remained that close throughout the years! It’s sweet to see how close Lea is with Darren Criss as well.

Ok, probably the most genuine interview I've seen of her to date and I'm a die hard glee and Groff fan. I hope she stays this down to earth and appreciates her fans and success

I love Lea’s talent, really hope she has grown up as she says and makes the best of this second chance

she seems a very nice and humble person, I know she was difficult in the past but I hope she's treating people well, people grow and change!

Cory would be so proud of her. Truly 👏 I know she's always been a Broadway girl even before Glee but still. So happy for her

Lea has grown as a person and she earned that part so happy for her. ❤️

Lea Michele has a voice and a half, this was a dream thing for her and I’m so glad she got to do it. He voice is amazing xxxx

I'm amazed by Drew being such a consistently true person and great interviewer!!!! Well done!!!

I just love her so much. She deserves all the best things and success. Love you Lea

She honestly does seem a lot more sincere and grounded. Who knows what kind of lesson she’s learned (and to what extent), but I’m glad she’s in a place where she can really express her talent in a way that’s open and honest. This role really is one that she fit into perfectly (the critics seem to agree on this one), and, if nothing else, this was a good place for her to land.

great interviewing with Drew. She looks flawless on this stage and the lighting is so good. and Lea was born for this role. we have known this since Glee in which she was also perfectly cast. wish i lived near NYC like i used to. i would get a ticket SO FAST!

Say what you want but her voice is phenomenal! Broadway is what she was born to do. Glee was one of my fave shows when it was on and I wish her success.

I am really happy for Lea and wish her the best. Did anyone notice or think it was interesting that she found out that she got the role essentially in a restaurant which is similar to how Rachel found out she got the same role in Glee? Lol.
