Feldstein said tonight on Instagram, "Playing Fanny Brice on Broadway has been a longstanding ambition of mine

and doing so over the last few months has been a wonderful delight and real honour.

I made the incredibly painful choice to leave the programme earlier

than expected after the producers chose to take it in a different path.
