Don’t rain on my parade, laugh at these 22 Lea Michele Funny Girl memes instead

‘Liza Minnelli has outlived Lea Michele’s unfulfilled dream to play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl’

2 years ago

The news yesterday that Lea Michele would be taking over as Fanny Brice from Beanie Feldstein in the Broadway revival of Funny Girl. If this is big news for Lea Michele (it’s widely known that this, like her Glee counterpart Rachel Berry, is her biggest dream), it is HUGE news for Twitter – who love nothing more than a Lea Michele meme. Twitter has naturally been a goldmine – here are the best tweets and memes reacting to the news that Lea Michele will be living out her Rachel Berry Funny Girl dreams in real life…

1. Starting things off with an account that never fails us

Liza Minnelli has outlived Lea Michele’s unfulfilled dream to play Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl.” The “Glee” star, who was notoriously passed over originally, will finally get her chance in the Broadway revival this September.

6. It absolutely slaps, what can you do?

As I reel from the news that Lea Michele is set to play Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, I couldn’t help but wonder…Did my 1 million streams of Rachel Berry’s version of ‘Don’t Rain On My Parade’ help bring this travesty to fruition? If it did, I am truly, deeply sorry. pic.twitter.com/OdbaeTB0Av
