“I just think that for me, at the forefront of my brain is having the experience of being inFunny Girlthis past year,” she said at the time, referencing her run as Fanny Brice in the Broadway revival of the hit musical.

“My son was able to come and see the show, and he sat through the entire show at 2½, which is pretty impressive,” she continues. “It was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.”

Luckily,Funny Girlwas filmed for “the archives,” she said. “Maybe my daughter will watch that show in 15 years or whatever. That would be really incredible, to say like, ‘Your brother was in the audience and he watched it.'”
