Jared Grimes, the Tony-nominated star of Funny Girl on Broadway, was asked about how his former co-star Beanie Feldstein handled the drama and backlash that came her way during her run as Fanny Brice.

Here’s just some of what happened while Beanie was starring in the show.

When the show opened earlier in 2022, the production didn’t get the best reviews and was almost entirely shut out at the Tony Awards (apart from Jared‘s nomination.)

In June 2022, it was announced that Beanie was leaving the show and that her final performance will be on September 25. However, a month later, Beanie abruptly announced that she was leaving the show earlier than anticipated, and the next day, producers revealed that Lea Michele will become the new Fanny Brice on September 6.

The producers of the Broadway show then spoke out about the drama that ensued. Beanie also explained her decision to step away much earlier than ancitipated.

While on The Broadway Podcast network’s hit show The Art of Kindness, hosted by actor & journalist Robert Peterpaul, Jared was asked about how Beanie handled everything.

Beanie Feldstein has announced that she will be leaving the Broadway production of Funny Girl.

The 28-year-old actress is currently playing the iconic role of Fanny Brice in the first-ever Broadway revival of the classic musical.

The production didn’t get the best reviews and was almost entirely shut out at the Tony Awards, which took place this past weekend.

Jane Lynch, who is playing Fanny’s mother in the show, will leave the production on the same date while Ramin Karimloo and Tony-nominated star Jared Grimes will continue in their roles of Nick Arnstein and Eddie Ryan.

Sutton Foster just won one of the biggest honors in the Broadway community!

The two-time Tony-winning actress was presented the Distinguished Performance Award during the 2022 Drama League Awards on Friday afternoon (May 20) in New York City.

The annual awards show honors just one acting performance for the entire theatrical season, encompassing all of Broadway and off-Broadway.

Sutton won the award for her performance in The Music Man and her co-star Hugh Jackman received the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre award. Actors can only win the Distinguished Performance Award once in their career and Hugh won almost 20 years ago for starring in Broadway’s The Boy From Oz, so he was ineligible for The Music Man.

Everyone told her she’d never be a star, but then something funny happened—she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.

The production is currently in previews ahead of an official opening night on April 24.

Funny Girl, which launched the career of Barbra Streisand, features the iconic songs “Don’t Rain on My Parade, “I’m the Greatest Star,” and “People.”
