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.

I believe in second chances but she hasn't really own up to her bad behavior. And when she sort of address it she made it seem that it was her work ethic that cause others to misread her intentions which is a stretch.

She's always had a lovely side. She just had a stuck up side that she shared with people she felt were inferior to her. This is how she always was but only with people she considered equal. Hopefully everyone is treated this way for a while given she knows of her bad reputation.

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. ⭐️

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.

I go back and forth whether I truly believe the rumors about her. There may be some truth to them but I have a feeling it's somewhere in the middle. Even if it's somewhere in the middle of course I do not agree with everything she may have done or said. But I am glad she is actually getting the second chance and showing people that she is still around because while whatever she did if it is true I may not agree with, what I disagree with even more is the judgment of her and what felt like people thinking she could never redeem herself. I would hope somebody would not judge me or thinking I could not possibly redeem myself for maybe something I did in my 20s or even 30s compared today in my 40s. I am not morally superior to anyone and I believe everyone deserves a second chance. I am glad she got it. I wish I lived in New York to see her because I would so go if I had the chance. 🙂

I think the fact that her Glee co-stars have not kept in touch with her and have no intention of seeing her perform this role, tells us everything about how she was ten years ago. In this interview she acknowledges that she was previously 100% career-driven and it would seem that she didn't treat people well along the way. She's been cancelled and fortuitously her baby came during that period. She's had a chance to grow, reflect and change. She appears to have seized this lucky second chance and I wish her nothing but the best going forward. I hope this is the beginning of a fabulous second part to her career.
