It was just announced that Beanie Feldstein will be leaving the Broadway production of Funny Girl in September and her replacement will be named on a later date. Beanie is the first actress to originate the role in a Broadway production since Barbra Streisand opened the original staging in 1964.

The logical choice right now is Julie Benko, who is currently serving as Beanie‘s standby and has been performing the role for the past week during her COVID-19 absence.
