In a statement on Instagram, Feldstein attributed her early exit to a decision by the production

[{"selector":"#anim-241ee31e-9556-4cf4-add2-b930643424c4 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(24.449937827185366%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d297d55c-2f7d-4be6-9224-2c7546478acb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.95155%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e4ae8757-78c6-4504-b394-fb1e1f19429d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-745392a9-85ea-4a37-97e8-7a60eff5bc2b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Feldstein, a movie star who has appeared in “Lady Bird” and “Booksmart,” has had a rough go of i

[{"selector":"#anim-964e0e81-e5c2-41e6-926e-f6d586a05ec1 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.19548104940283%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-748c9059-6107-4673-8468-12de9ddba61e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.95155%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c539609-7065-4350-b97e-7ff2e01aec68","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3535ad99-e247-4c8c-ba22-fbeea243cb1e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

She was snubbed by the Tony Awards, which only gave “Funny Girl” a single nomination

[{"selector":"#anim-22cdac51-341b-4b25-8b47-9faa51027205 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-10.446133770416175%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-95d2b31c-d0ff-4829-8c31-695eabf91d0b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-125.95155%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bd67302b-af4e-4c01-8fe5-a9e1a8f7cd0f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8a6f07a4-89d5-4e4a-ab8a-a5cacf14ca40","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Reviews have also been unkind, with some critics comparing Feldstein to original star Barbra Streisand and finding her wanting

Playing Fanny Brice on Broadway has been a lifelong dream of mine, and doing so for the last few months has been a great joy and true hono

Once the production decided to take the show in a different direction, I made the extremely difficult decision to step away sooner than anticipated
