It happened! Lea Michele is officially Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl, and plenty of Glee fans think it’s fulfilling her destiny laid out in the show.
The 36-year-old actress was one of the stars of the popular series from its launch in 2009.
In case you forgot, Lea‘s character Rachel Berry was cast as Fanny in a revival of the musical during the fifth season of Glee.
Seeing her take the stage and receive four standing ovations before the musical’s first intermission Tuesday night (September 6) feels like something of a self fulfilling prophesy to fans that have followed her journey over the years.
They took to Twitter to celebrate the news and share their reactions!

If Ryan Murphy really does make a Funny Girl movie starring Lea Michele. It WILL be the start of the Glee Cinematic Universe. It’s just Rachel Berry playing Fanny Bryce. It is what it is. #FunnyGirl

Ryan Murphy writing a terrible fox sitcom for Lea Michele so she’ll leave funny girl, therefore continuing the glee plot line pic.twitter.com/xwnkfEu5Vb

Now that Lea Michele is in Funny Girl, who’s gonna offer her a tv show that forces her to leave the show? Let’s make Glee become the new Simpsons for future predictions

Still can’t believe Lea Michele is in Funny Girl. We live in a timeline where glee is correct.

It’s cool to hear that Lea Michele has got four standing ovations for her first performance in Funny Girl, but if she doesn’t celebrate by going to a gay bar after the show and singing Pumpin’ Blood, what’s the POINT!

In case you forgot, Lea replaced Beanie Felstein as Fanny in Funny Girl.
