Michele will be starring alongside Tovah Feldshuh, who’ll be taking over for Jane Lynch as Fanny Brice’s mother in the revival of the classic musical.
“Funny Girl” first debuted in 1964, with Barbra Streisand starring in what proved to be a career-defining role, eventually reprising Fanny for a subsequent “Funny Girl” movie and a sequel, “Funny Lady”.
Michele begins her “Funny Girl” run on Sept. 6.
