Feldstein was fired two months ago by the production team with the excuse that they want to take the show in a different direction. On July 31 she informed her PR to tell the world she will not be on the show anymore and that she will be replaced by Lea Michele.
it was already in talks that Lea will take the role of Feldstein, who knows maybe it was internal politics or genuine creative decision but word on the street was out that Feldstein would do it. Michele will play the role of Fanny Brice.
the show will be performed every Thursday, the first show will be on August 2 and the last show will be on September 4.
Jane Lynch will play the role of Fanny’s mother Mrs. Brice. is also about to finish her time on the show and Tovah Feldshuh will take her place very soon in Sept. 6
