“Beanie returns tomorrow!” the show’s official Twitter account posted Wednesday. “14 weeks left to see Beanie Feldstein & Jane Lynch now through September 25th. Stay tuned for additional casting news to join Ramin Karimloo & Jared Grimes and the company of Funny Girl.”

The show, which opened April 24, was nominated for a single Tony Award at the recent 2022 ceremony, for featured actor Jared Grimes, who did not win.

In the Broadway revival, Feldstein plays Fanny Brice — the role originated by Barbra Streisand on Broadway in 1964 (for which she won an Oscar in the 1968 film) — while Lynch plays her mom, Rose Brice.
