Beanie Feldstein is leaving Broadway's 'Funny Girl' early after producers “decided to take the show in a different direction'
The actress announced Sunday in an Instagram post that she will be departing the show July 31. Last month, she and fellow star Jane Lynch would be departing their roles Sept. 25 instead of at year’s end, which had originally been expected.
In her post, Feldstein said the decision came after producers “decided to take the show in a different direction,” but did not elaborate further. “Playing Fanny Brice on Broadway has been a lifelong dream of mine, and doing so for the last few months has been a great joy and true honor,” she wrote. “Once the production decided to take the show in a different direction, I made the extremely difficult decision to step away sooner than anticipated.”She went on to praise her fellow cast and crew and thank those who’d come to see her performance.
“I will never forget this experience and from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank every single person who came to the August Wilson for the love and support you have shown me and our amazing cast and crew,” she wrote. “The people I have had the great joy of bringing o life with every night, both on and off the stage, are all remarkably talented and exceptional humans and I hope you continue to join them on Henry Street after I depart on July 31st.
