Lady Gaga and Rosie O’Donnell could be acting together in a Broadway revival of a Barbara Streisand classic.
While opening for Randy Rainbow at a theater on Long Island, O’Donnell reportedly told the crowd that she and Gaga will be acting in a revival of Funny Girl.
Rosie O'Donnell just said on stage that Lady Gaga will play Funny Girl on Broadway and she'll play her mother.

This will be the second time Gaga has taken on a role that was also played Streisand. A Star Is Born, released last week, starred Lady Gaga, and the 1976 version of the film starred Streisand.
