Lea Michele may be in for an even bigger opening night than she expected, as tickets for the actor’s Broadway debut have reached an even higher price tag. Seat Geek — an online platform that allows users to buy and resell box office tickets — currently has tickets available from $450 to $2,350. The cost of tickets for Michele’s first show are nearly double the cost of those for Beanie Feldstein’s final show on July 30, which are currently starting at $69. And fans are not the only ones excited about Michele’s run as Fanny Brice. Her former “Glee” co-star Jane Lynch has also rejoiced over the news.
“I adore her,” Lynch told Deadline. “She’s just going to take this show and make it her own. I’m so glad she’s getting the opportunity in real life to do the show and not just on ‘Glee.‘” Lynch is currently starring as Rosie Brice in “Funny Girl,” but will exit before Michele officially joins the cast.
