From www.leamicheleweb.org:
Lea Michele, breakout star from Fox hit ‘Glee,’ stole the Tony Awards Sunday night when she marched down the center aisle of Radio City Music Hall belting out Barbra Streisand’s hit ‘Don’t Rain On My Parade’ to the star-studded crowd. Even Beyonce who was sitting next to her husband Jay Z, was stunned to hear Michele’s amazing voice.
“Lea is definitely going to be one of the biggest recording stars in the world,” a recording executive told me after the show. “Her voice is up there with Mariah and Beyonce. There is nothing she cannot do. With the right song this girl could save the music business, appealing to other young and old.”
And with a revival of ‘Funny Girl’ scheduled to hit Broadway in 2012 — the first time since its original production in 1964 staring Barbra Streisand — it looks like producers might have found someone who could not only stand up to Streisand’s legacy, but also totally surpass it.

GLEE-est Moments of the Tony's
Source: MTV Buzzworthy by Tamar Anitai
You didn't have to be a theater dork (guilty) to get into last night's 64th Annual Tony Awards. But it DID help to be a Gleek. "Glee" stars Lea Michele, known for her Broadway breakthrough in "Spring Awakening," and Matthew Morrison, whose Broadway credits include "The Light in the Piazza" and "Hairspray," didn't just attend the Tonys. They performed showstoppers to a Tony crowd that included Broadway's top brass and Hollywood royalty such as Scarlett Johansson, Denzel Washington and Will Smith. Plus, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Basically, it was Rachel Berry's dream come true.
+ Check out the 5 "Glee"-est moments of the 2010 Tony Awards.
1.) Lea Michele Hits The Red Carpet: Lea Michele hits the Tonys red carpet in a bright yellow Zac Posen gown, officially proving that there is NO color Lea Michele can't pull off.
2.) Matthew Morrison Performs "All I Need Is The Girl" Shue performs “All I Need Is The Girl" from "Gypsy," pulls off some dance moves Mike Chang would be proud of, and treats the audience to an open shirt. Huzzah!
3.) Lea Michele Takes A Seat ... On Jonathan Groff's Lap: One of New Dimensions' signature moves is the Enter Through The Exit, which is exactly how Lea Michele started her performance of "Don't Rain On My Parade from "Funny Girl." She landed right in Jonathan Groff's lap. Wouldn't they make the cutest couple? Oh wait ...
4.) Lea Michele Does Her Best Barbra Streisand: Lea Michele channels Rachel Berry channeling Barbra Streisand through and through. Right down to the white dress. If her performance of the key song from "Funny Girl" doesn't nab her the lead in the show's revival, then nothing will.
5.) Lea Michele Meets Ricky Martin! Would they make the cutest couple? Oh ... wait. Still, is a Lea Michele/Ricky Martin photo opp a subliminal message that an all-Ricky Martin episode of "Glee" is on top for Season 3? Ryan Murphy, are you reading this?
** Yes, they used "New Dimensions" instead of "New Directions". Someone did comment on the article to correct Tamar. Also, here is the link incase you want to see the pix! http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2010/06/14/the-5-glee-est-moments-of-the-2010-tony-awards/
