Jane Lynch is chiming in on the discourse surrounding the high-profile recasting of Broadways Funny Girl revival.

On Monday, producers confirmed that Lynchs Glee co-star Lea Michele will take over the lead role of Ziegfeld Follies comedian Fanny Brice from the musicals current star, Beanie Feldstein , in September. The news quickly sent the celebrity rumor mill into overdrive, which isnt surprising given Micheles well-established interest in the part and the foggy circumstances surrounding Feldsteins abrupt departure.

Lynch, who plays Fanny Brices mother in Funny Girl, is happy for Michele. She told Deadline on Tuesday that the two have been in touch regarding the production in recent weeks.

Shes just going to take this show and make it her own, she said. Im so glad shes getting the opportunity in real life to do the show and not just on Glee.

Fans clamoring for a Glee reunion onstage, however, shouldnt get their hopes up. When Michele joins the production Sept. 6, four-time Tony Award nominee Tovah Feldshuh will succeed Lynch in the role of Fannys mother.

You know, it was just a really strong idea to have Feldshuh and Lea premiere together, explained Lynch , who was already planning to depart the show in September. Thats the only reason [we wont appear together.] I adore her.
