EW has exclusively learned that Lea Michele’s Spring Awakening co-star, Jonathan Groff (seen most recently in Ang Lee’s Taking Woodstock) is coming on board Glee for five or six episodes playing the lead male singer of Vocal Adrenaline, the group already seen performing “Rehab” and “Mercy.” Says Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy, “He is a male diva…a miva.” Groff’s character will also serve as a potential love interest for Michele’s Rachel.

Wow thats awesome…its like a Spring Awakening reunion!
I’d rather see him play a love interest for the gay kid.
Agreed.
OMG such a good idea.
I know! It’s like every guy’s being paired with Rachel. I want him and Kurt to hook up, instead.
So glad to see Groff back with Michelle, and nice that they’re best friends in real life, but yah, let’s throw Kurt in there for a triangle please!
I want zac efron to guest and hook up with Curt. I would die.
Why? What is wrong with you? This is not the place to ship.
A love triangle involving a genuinely bisexual male character who isn’t some kind of villain would be cool to watch but I’m not expecting to see a character like that sooner than the next 15 years from anything out of this country…
TOTALLY agree!!
Definitely looks gay to me.
It is only the 7th episode.
Get over it Rachel is one of the leads of the show the others are supporting cast, who will get their stories in do time, but are still supporting cast members.
It’s too bad Rachel is as annoying as all get-up! All she ever does is whine! Makes Quinn so much more likable.
Kurt needs a love interest!!!!!!!!!! Ryan Murphy, you are queer as a three dollar bill, make this happen!
Which I think is why every female character in his show is a villan.
Yuk!
Love this but Ryan Murphy: its called a divo
What are you gay too?
Mature. And yes, divo is the male form of the word diva in Italian. For all those wanting a love interest for Kurt, I would like to see an accurate showing of the struggles a newly outed gay teen feels in high school, cutting through the rather caricature moments we’ve seen Kurt in lately as a homosexual. Give him a man eventually, but not just yet…
Awesome! I love this show so far, the more talented performers that come onto Glee the better.
Hollur! Just when you thought this show couldn’t get any better!
That is so awesome. In real life, Lea Michele and Jonathan Groff are extremely close…he even showed up to “The View” when she was doing an interview. I love Spring Awakening…and I love both of them…can’t wait…now all we need is John Gallagher Jr.
Omgoodness, JGJ would be amazing! Why isn’t he there yet?!
YESSSSS I miss him…
ahh YES they need to get JGJ! then it would be a legit spring awakening reunion. i really hope that since jon groff is joining they’ll do a spring awakening song… fingers crossed. haha
I agree! I’d rather see him be the love interest of Kurt! I think it’d be cuter that way.
Sweet!!!
I just squealed like a 10 year old girl! This is very exciting news!!
I did too.
Ditto!!!!!!!! Lmao
This is great! If he becomes the love interest for Rachel, it could create some great tension in her relationship with Finn, especially when he finds out that Quinn is lying to him about the baby (which I hope happens soon). He’ll need someone to go to, and if her attentions are focused on someone else – sparks!
(spoiler)…..I think that this can make for adding yet another side to the love triangle/square as it looks like Puck will make a play for Rachel in this week’s ep according to some sneak clips. (whether Puck is sincere or is trying to make Quinn jealous remains to be seen).
Oh I would LOVE that
Whoa, he looks just like Olly Murs from this season of X Factor!
Nice! Can’t wait to see Finn get jealous.
YES
all they need is to add John Gallagher jr…..
seeing as though i live in louisiana and couldnt make it to see spring awakening on broadway, i bought the cast soundtrack and still listen to it constantly, this will be the closest i get to seeing that show……i love glee and cant wait for the mini reunion
What if they sang a song from Spring Awakening??? Awesome!
OMG the best news I’ve heard in quite some time. A spring awakening reunion–how awesome. Can’t wait to hear him sing.
