The 23 year old began her career in New York shows, but shot to fame last year (09) after debuting as wannabe actress Rachel Berry in the popular TV musical comedy.
But Broadway bosses are keen to lure Michele back - with a part written specifically for her in new musical Speargrove Presents, which tells the story of a Texas high school's fight to stage a production of risque musical Rent.
Executive director Reed Prescott tells New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "We've crafted the lead with Lea in mind. As a veteran Broadway trouper, she can relate to her character's frustration over the show, in this case Rent, not going on."
A role for Lea Michele?
Could Lea Michele, star of hit Fox show "Glee," possibly return to Broadway, where her career ignited? Reed Prescott, executive director of the New York Theatre Barn, hopes she'll take a role in a new musical "Speargrove Presents," based on a real-life incident in which a small Texas town blocked the high school's production of "Rent." "We've crafted the lead with Lea in mind," says Prescott. "As a veteran Broadway trouper, she can relate to her character's frustration over the show, in this case 'Rent,' not going on." Theatre Barn is debuting many of the show's numbers to the public today at the Daryl Roth.
