Production[edit]

Recording for a new Funny Girl album started at Power Station Studios in Manhattan during fall 2022,[1] produced by Gemini Theatricals, Accidental Jacket, and Masterworks Broadway.[2] In a surprise announcement at a performance of Funny Girl on November 16, 2022, Lea Michele announced the release of the album; the announcement was live streamed on Instagram.[3] The release would be the first Broadway cast recording since the original cast recording which was released 58 years prior.[4] The album was released on November 18, 2022, digitally, while a physical CD version was released on January 20, 2023.[5]

Although Beanie Feldstein opened the Broadway revival as Fanny Brice, she is notably absent from the Funny Girl recording.[6]
