Sunday's final performance of FUNNY GIRL on Broadway ended with Lea Michele giving an emotional speech and singing 'My Man' as an encore (as Barbra Streisand did at her last performance in the original production).

According to BroadwayWorld, a pre-show announcement said that the role of Ms. Fanny Brice would be played by .... Lea Michele, also as they did they did for Streisand at her last performance. But given that Michele has been sick in the show's last week I imagine the announcement would have caused a lot of heart palpitations in the audience when it started.
