Lea Michele Cancels Remainder of Summer Tour Due to 'Funny Girl' Rehearsals
Lea Michele has canceled the remaining dates on her Life in Music tour due to a conflict with her rehearsals for Funny Girl.
The 35-year-old actress announced her summer tour back in May and she planned on performing six shows around the country at City Winery venues. The first three shows happened a couple weeks ago and the second half of the tour was scheduled for mid-August.
Then, it was announced on July 11 that Lea will be making her return to Broadway in Funny Girl on September 6, earlier than she probably planned due to Beanie Feldstein‘s sudden departure from the show.
Now, the rest of Lea‘s shows on tour will no longer happen while she prepares to play Fanny Brice.

Lea can say anything she want but she knew she had her tour before getting the Broadway role. Only 3 days of concerts left and she does that. That’s not keeping her word, that’s not compromising, that’s not caring for her fans. The excuses just won’t work for me. Not right now.

I know an artist canceling their show sucks… but we also have to recognize that Lea didn’t know about Funny Girl before the shows were scheduled. Please don’t send hate.. genuinely it might even affect her health having everything at once.
