A mommy milestone. Lea Michele got emotional as she prepared son Ever for school before making her big debut in Broadway’s Funny Girl.“Today is a special and important day that with the blink of an eye was here,” the Glee alum, 36, captioned an Instagram Story photo of her toddler on Tuesday, September 6.

In a second picture, the 2-year-old stood with his face turned away from the camera to show off his backpack, which had his initials in big yellow letters.“I cried as I tied your little shoes this morning,” Michele continued. “I feel like just yesterday you were born.

And now you have your first day of little school. I’m your mama before anything Ever and I love you.”The Tony nominee welcomed her son in August 2020 with husband Zandy Reich, whom she wed in March 2019.

After sharing the morning with her little boy, Michele went on to give a glimpse of how she got ready for her first performance as Fanny Brice on Broadway.“For the Fannys who have fearlessly graced this stage before me … You have all climbed the mountain that is Fanny and I am honored to be in your company,” the Scream Queens alum wrote via her Instagram Story before the curtain went up, giving shout-outs to Beanie Feldstein and understudy Julie Benko. “And of course @BarbraStreisand our queen.”Michele was confirmed to be taking the stage as Funny Girl‘s leading lady in July after Feldstein, 29, announced she was leaving the show earlier than planned.
