Following a guest stint by her Broadway costar Kristin Chenoweth and Glee club captain Rachel’s (Lea Michele) show-stopping rendition of “Defying Gravity” (from the hit musical Wicked), it seems Broadway’s original green witch, Idina Menzel, may pay a visit to McKinley High.“I know that she would love [to guest star on Glee],” Menzel’s husband, Private Practice star Taye Diggs told Fancast of the Gleek community’s desire to see the Tony-winner play the biological mother of Rachel, who is the proud daughter of two gay dads.
Adding that Michele — who originated the role of Wendla in the Broadway play Spring Awakening — and Menzel are “fans of each other,” Diggs acknowledged the pair’s uncanny resemblance, saying “We knew that existed far, far before the TV world did.”
A Broadway vet himself, having starred in Rent opposite his future wife, Diggs praised the caliber of Glee’s singing and dancing cast, saying he and his wife TiVo the show every week, and “are just so happy to see a lot of these theater kids get the opportunity to do some television work.”
