Fanny Brice & The Funny Girl Fiasco with Lena from 'Recovering Gleek'

This week, we're talking FUNNY GIRL. Did you know that Fanny Brice was an actual female performer and comedian? We talk about the original inspiration for the now famous show, the constant setbacks and drama it faced since its inception, and the star Barbara Streisand became on the show's set. Then we get to sit down with the Lovely Lena, a co-host of the podcast 'Recovering Gleek,' and a New York City actress to discuss the show being brought back to the stage, the Beany Feldstein performance (which Lena actually saw in person!), and the Lea Michele controversy of it all, including the drama from Glee, internet comments, costume changes and so much more.
