Beanie Feldstein says she'll miss 'Funny Girl' performances due to tonsillitis prior to her early exit from the show

• Beanie Feldstein announced that she'll miss "Funny Girl" shows this weekend with a case of tonsillitis.
• The actress shared the update in an Instagram video shared Friday, saying "When it rains, it pours."

Beanie Feldstein announced she'll miss 'Funny Girl' performances this weekend due to tonsillitis — just days after announcing that she's leaving the production earlier than expected.

In a video shared to her Instagram account on Friday, Feldstein said that a doctor diagnosed her with tonsillitis and wouldn't allow her back onstage until she had gone through a course of antibiotics. She opened the video, with the comments turned off, jokingly asking, "What have I missed? What's been going on?"

The actress, who plays the lead character Fanny Brice, noted that she didn't want to get her loved ones sick and would be out of the show through the weekend.

"I cannot wait to do my last two weeks and ... you gotta laugh at a certain point," she said, adding, "When it rains, it pours on your old pal Bean."

Representatives for Feldstein did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Feldstein also missed several performances of the Broadway revival in early June after testing positive for COVID-19. Her standby, Julie Benko, took her place in the show, People reports.

According to Insider's Rebecca Cohen, Feldstein announced in June that she would be leaving the production on September 25. She posted an update Sunday evening stating that she moved her last show up by two months which means her final curtain call will now be on July 31.

"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 honor," Feldstein wrote on Instagram Sunday. "Once the production decided to take the show in a different direction, I made the extremely difficult decision to step away sooner than anticipated."

After fan speculation and a report from Gawker leaking the news in late June,

the show announced Monday that "Glee" star Lea Michele will take over the lead role starting September 6. According to the Daily Beast, Benko will fill the role until Michele's start and will play Brice every Thursday from then on.
