Funny Girls, Money Men: The Complications of Jewishness on Broadway

AMERICAN THEATRE: Just 24 hours after Beanie Feldstein announced her departure from Funny Girl, American Jewish theatremakers Emma Jude Harris and Gabrielle Hoyt met in person for the first time. 3,000 words, 10 oat milk lattes, and one last-minute Broadway trip later, their resultant dialogue touches on questions of Jewish identity, race, gender, American stories abroad, and the power of Barbra.
