For more than a decade, anyone who watched Glee has known that Lea Michele would be pretty good in a Broadway production of Funny Girl.

Now that Lea has officially taken over Funny Girl on Broadway, many want to know how long she'll be with the show.

How long will Lea Michele be in ' Funny Girl'
Lea just began playing the role on Sept. 6, but in part because her takeover was so eagerly anticipated, many want to know how long she'll be playing the role. Ultimately, it seems the answer to that question is still up in the air, and will likely depend in part on how well tickets for the show sell and what reviews say about her performance.

Lea first confirmed that she would be taking on the role in July, and shared her joy in a post on Instagram. "A dream come true is an understatement," Lea wrote at the time. "I'm so incredibly honored to join this amazing cast and production and return to the stage playing Fanny Brice on Broadway."
A Broadway veteran, Funny Girl will mark Lea's return to the stage.

There was certainly plenty of buzz around Lea's debut in the role, in large part because her character on Glee also played the role in a Broadway revival.

Michele has been the subject of some controversy more recently over accusations that she was racist and overtly hostile to her co-workers on Glee, but she has apologized, and her debut in Funny Girl is leaving many wondering whether she should be given a second chance. What's more, the rumors that Lea can't read also impacted her Broadway debut. When she delivered the line suggesting she hadn't read many books in the show, it was apparently greeted with both applause and gasps.
