If you’re a Kelly Clarkson fan, you likely know that she is a huge Broadway fan!
The Grammy-winning singer has covered lots of Broadway songs on her show and on various albums, including a track on The Hamilton Mixtape compilation.
With Kelly moving her talk show to New York City for the upcoming season, fans have been wondering if she would potentially join the cast of a Broadway show. Well, it looks like she’s going to do something else on Broadway.
Lea Michele has been bringing the house down every night with her starring role in the Broadway musical Funny Girl, fulfilling a longtime dream of hers to play the iconic role.
The 36-year-old actress is also fulfilling a storyline that happened on Glee when her character Rachel Berry starred in the first-ever Broadway revival of Funny Girl after idolizing Barbra Streisand while growing up, just as Lea herself did.
Some of Lea‘s Glee castmates have already rushed to see her in the musical during the first two months of her run, while some other former co-stars have publicly voiced that they will not be attending the show.
Lea will be starring in the show through September 2023.

The 2023 Tony Awards will air as planned on June 11, but changes are going to be made to the show amid the Writers Guild of America strike.
It was previously reported that the show would need to be postponed after the WGA denied a waiver to the Tony Awards Productions. The organization requested a waiver to move forward with the planned ceremony and not have picketers at the show.
The waiver was denied, but after an appeal, the WGA has agreed to not picket the event, though a waiver is not being provided.

Once Upon a One More Time, a brand new musical powered by the hits of Britney Spears, is premiering on Broadway this week and we have a first look!
Preview performances begin on Saturday, May 13 and until then, you can watch former American Idol contestant Justin Guarini dance his heart out while rehearsing the “Circus” number.
We also have first look photos of the “non-royals,” consisting of two-time Tony nominee Jennifer Simard as Stepmother, two-time Tony nominee Adam Godley as Narrator, Brooke Dillman as The OFG (Original Fairy Godmother), Tess Soltau as Stepsister Betany, and Ryann Redmond as Stepsister Belinda.
Once Upon A One More Time features an original story “that flips the script on your favorite fairytale icons.

The arrival of this new tome spurs a royal revelation: there is more to life than bird-made dresses and true love’s kiss!”
The musical features Britney‘s greatest hits like “Oops I Did It Again,” “Lucky,” “Circus,” and “Toxic.”
