Lea Michele Sarfati (born August 29, 1986 in the Bronx, New York City, U.S)… Read Full Bio ↴Lea Michele Sarfati (born August 29, 1986 in the Bronx, New York City, U.S), known professionally as Lea Michele, is an American actress and singer. Michele debuted on Broadway in 1995 as a replacement in the role of Young Cosette in the original New York production of Les Miserables. This was followed by her performance of the role of Tateh's daughter, the Little Girl, in the 1998 original Broadway cast of Ragtime.

In 2004, Michele played "Shprintze" and "Chava" in the Broadway revival of the musical Fiddler on the Roof. Regionally, she has appeared in the title role in The Diary of Anne Frank.

Since the age of 14, she played the role of Wendla in Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik's musical version of Spring Awakening since early workshops; following it up to the Broadway production. Around the same time the show was set to go to Broadway, she was given the role of Eponine in the Broadway revival of Les Misérables. She chose to remain with Spring Awakening, which debuted on Broadway December 10, 2006. Michele was nominated for a Drama Desk Award for her performance in Spring Awakening, as Lead Actress in a Musical.

On May 18, 2008, Michele left Spring Awakening with co-star Jonathan Groff and was replaced by former Wendla understudy Alexandra Socha. She performed in a reading of Sheik and Sater's new musical, Nero, in July 2008 at Vassar College, also featuring Idina Menzel and Michael Arden. On August 8, 9 and 10, 2008, Michele portrayed Eponine in the Hollywood Bowl's Les Misérables concert.

Michele can be heard on the original Broadway cast recordings of Ragtime and Spring Awakening, as well as the 2003 revival recording of Fiddler on the Roof.

Michele starred in the Fox television show Glee, where she played the star female singer of a high school glee club, Rachel Berry. The pilot aired on May 19, 2009, and the show aired on Thursday nights on FOX. The show ended after 6 seasons on March 20, 2015.

Lea Michele will be making her public debut as Fanny Brice in Broadway’s Funny Girl on September 6th, 2022

Don't Rain on My Parade
Lea Michele Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't tell me not to live
Just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's
A ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade

Don't tell me not to fly

I've simply got to
If someone takes a spill
It's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed
To rain on my parade

I'll march my band out
I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose
Of sheer perfection
Or freckle on the nose
Of life's complexion
The cinder or the shiny apple of its eye
I gotta fly once
I gotta try once
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy
Juicy, and you see
I gotta have my bite, sir
Get ready for me, love
'Cause I'm a commer
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer
Don't bring around a cloud
To rain on my parade

I'm gonna live and live now
Get what I want, I know how
One roll for the whole show bang
One throw, that bell will go clang
Eye on the target and wham
One shot, one gun shot, and bam
Hey, Mister Arnstein
Here I am
I'll march my band out
I will beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out
Your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it
Hat, sir, I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me, love
'Cause I'm a commer
I simply gotta march
My heart's a drummer

Nobody, no, nobody
Is gonna rain on my parade

Overall Meaning

In "Don't Rain on My Parade," Lea Michele sings a powerful anthem about seizing the day and living life to the fullest. The song is all about resilience, and finding the strength to pursue your dreams in the face of obstacles and naysayers.

The lyrics are filled with metaphors and vivid imagery. When she sings, "Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter," she's painting a picture of a world full of possibilities--a place where everything is rich and sweet. And when she says, "Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade," she's warning anyone who might try to get in her way that she won't let negativity or criticism hold her back.

Very true. I've already watched it three times this evening. I keep hoping to see the finale filmed. The original play and movie ended with "My Man", and even though Streisand was stunning singing it, the number still ended the show on kind of an emotional low note. But Brice went on to have a long, successful career after Nick. I feel the new finale, combining "Funny Girl" from the movie with "DROMP" ends the show on a high note. While Fanny may be down that her marriage to Nick failed, she won't allow it to interfere with her career and stardom.

Lea is the kind of vocal powerhouse required for this role. Not to knock supporting cast but Funny Girl is really a one woman show and if that person isn’t exceptional vocally and charismatically it isn’t going to work. These are songs that someone must have the vocal ability to belt.

The best video of this number yet. During Lea's first week the show did over 1.6 million dollars in box office. It is doing around a million a week or more now, a far cry from what it had dropped to pre-Lea. One still has to wonder what the producers and artistic team were thinking about when Beanie was cast in the role. No knock on her because she's a wonderful actress but it was obvious, even in some of the rehearsal videos, that she didn't have the vocal chops to carry Jule Styne's score, one of the most difficult ever written for a Broadway show.

@toptwins1

They made a huge mistake not casting Lea Michele from the start. They would have had better reviews and probably gotten her a Tony and maybe for the production.

@@ohblobby As Iamlia said it wasn't an insult. Funny Girl's score is considered to one of the most difficult in Broadway history. When the auditions for the show were being held a lot of big names applied but Jule Styne, the composer, had seen Barbara Streisand in her first show and badly wanted her. He deliberately wrote songs that he knew only she could handle and, of course, the rest is history. The problem with that is that while nobody is going be another Streisand, the score requires some very serious pipes to carry the show and Beanie, and it's no knock, just didn't have them. The primary fault for casting her lies with the producers but Beanie also bears some responsibility as well. There's an old saying "A wise man knows his own limitations" and Beanie should have had enough insight to realize that the show's score might be beyond her vocal abilities. No matter at this point. Lea is in, the show is doing booming box office and all is well.

I saw this earlier this week, and I cannot believed how unbelievably good it was. I’ve been a little bit thrown off by how universally positive the reviews have been - how often do you see constant, consistent rave reviews for the entire run of the show? - but I absolutely get it now. Absolutely the best show I’ve ever seen.

The crowd lost it at “Hey Mr. Arnstein, here I am,” and you could just feel the love she has for that role pouring out of her at that moment (she’d been out for a few days), and then she snapped right back into character and finished the act off with everything she had.

But really, that entire cast just worked together seamlessly. You could see how they brought out the best in each other. It deserves every rave review it’s gotten.

But Lea is the one selling all the tickets and frankly, elevating the show more than anyone else (aside from Barbra, herself obviously) could. One of the most popular criticisms during the short-lived Beanie era is that “Funny Girl” just isn’t “that great of a show”. And the lack of power in Beanie’s performance highlighted that even more.

Omg just got home from this show! ❤️❤️ we all applauded at that first point and then she continued on to the end. Did people cheer or “whoop” inappropriately? No friggin idea, if they did I was so caught up in the show I didn’t notice. The show so fabulous!

Okay so this may be a unpopular opinion BUT while it exciting that you are there to see a great performance of a play, it is NOT a concert. Crowd etiquette has gone to hell. The whooping and hollering is only drowning out the performance for YOUR satisfaction and ruins the other theater patrons experience.

@DiAnAEvEmcr

THANK YOU. I was so annoyed watching this 😂 I couldn’t even hear her sing properly, the place is surely packed with her fans so I get the excitement but this is not the place .

It's not a recent thing. Years and years ago I saw the revival of Hello, Dolly! with Carol Channing and the audience went just as crazy. And, as a performer, let me tell you we do absolutely do not have a problem with this kind of reaction from the audience. It's the beauty of live theatre.

"Here I am," indeed! Now the show is what it was meant to be; she'd better stay in it a good long while (which is more than these clips will, I bet). I don't care if she's Lucretia Borgia off stage, she's delivering on stage.

@@jen9996 This is fantasticccc. I mean, it seems like she’s legitimately worked on herself and sincerely matured and learned to recognize her behavior, but ultimately it doesn’t make any difference. With celebrities, we hear about the best of a person or the worst of a person, but any of us can say that if we or someone we know received the same treatment, it doesn’t define who we are, or who we choose to be. Her job is to entertain us, and she’s good at it. Anything beyond that is none of our business.

I love American audiences. Entrance applause, intermittent “oh we know this song” applause, “I’m very impressed by how high/ loud/ comedic/ dramatic they perform” applause, sing along to said performance/ song as well interrupt with more applause. Please never change. Here in the UK we are very conservative with audience participation of any kind.

Nice to find someone who sings it properly:
"...rain on my paraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade"
Barbra Streisand has a nice voice but she sings it oddly:
"rain on myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy parade"
