* OvershadowedByControversy: The 2022 revival is strongly tied to the controversy surrounding its actresses, with Beanie Feldstein receiving vast negative media coverage and being replaced early in her run with Lea Michele, who at the time was still overcoming bad media coverage surrounding past workplace misconduct. While consensus leaned in favor of Michele's performance (and her conduct backstage seemed to have improved over the years), comments tend to spiral into arguments over whether the whole ordeal was fair.

* BrokenBase: The 2022 revival replacing Beanie Feldstein with Lea Michele (and using the latter's voice for the cast recording instead of the actual original actress) was quite controversial, with some believing it was unfair to cut Feldstein's run short (especially given Michele's own controversies at the time) and who didn't think Michele fit the role, while others defended the decision as Michele has long seen Fanny as a dream role and enjoyed her performance over Feldstein. There's a minority third option who prefer the alternate, Julie Benko, to both.

* QuestionableCasting: The Broadway revival casting Creator/BeanieFeldstein as Fanny proved to be incredibly contentious. While she may be a good fit for the comic aspects of the character, many complained that she had nowhere near the vocal chops required to play the role. On the other hand, some thought she was fine in the role, and almost everyone, even those who thought she was miscast, felt she was undeserving of the mistreatment she got from the media and the higher ups involved with the show.

** The fact that ''Creator/AnneBancroft'' was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen considered for the part]] before Streisand was cast foreshadowed that this would be a recurring theme with Fanny's actresses.

* ValuesDissonance: Fanny's friends, and even her own mother, criticize her for Nicky's financial ruin, going so far as to ''blame her'' when he gets busted in a bonds scam. Why? Because Fanny not only dared to earn the money in the family, but she attempted to help her husband out financially when she should have been focused on helping him emotionally.
