Beanie Feldstein Will Miss FUNNY GIRL Performances Due to Positive COVID-19 Test

Beanie Feldstein took to Instagram to share that she tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss performances of Funny Girl.

"I'm vaxxed and I'm boosted, and I'm very grateful to not be feeling too bad," she said. "I'm just really bummed to miss seeing you all at the theatre, and I can't wait to get back on stage very soon."

She did not reveal the exact date she will return to the show.

Funny Girl is now playing at the August Wilson Theatre.

The musical stars Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Beanie Feldstein as Fanny Brice, Tony and Olivier Award nominee Ramin Karimloo as Nick Arnstein, Jeff Award winner Jared Grimes as Eddie Ryan and five-time Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch as Mrs. Rose Brice.

Tony Award winner Michael Mayer directs this brand-new Funny Girl, featuring the classic score by Tony, Grammy and Academy Award winner Jule Styne and lyrics by Tony Award nominee and Grammy Award winner Bob Merrill, (comprising additional songs from Styne & Merrill). The original book by Isobel Lennart, from an original story by Miss Lennart, is revised by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein.

This bittersweet comedy is the story of the indomitable Fanny Brice, a girl from the Lower East Side who dreamed of a life on the stage. Everyone told her she'd never be a star, but then something funny happened-she became one of the most beloved performers in history, shining brighter than the brightest lights of Broadway.
