Idina Menzel joins 'Glee' club

[ALIASd]

Meet Will Schuester's new rival.

Broadway star Idina Menzel is in negotiations to join Fox's "Glee" as a recurring.

Menzel, who is expected to appear in all of the remaining nine episodes of the season, will play the coach to glee club Vocal Adrenaline, the McKinley High glee club's main competition.

Menzel had said she is a big fan of "Glee" and its young star Lea Michele, also a Broadway pro.

Because of Menzel and Michele's similar musical theater background and strong resemblance, fans had been lobbying for Menzel to appear on the show as Rachel Berry's (Michele) biological mother.

I posted this on my facebook, but with Joss Whendon directing an episode and Idina Menzel in the back nine, I may geek out... All I need is some Neil Patrick Harris...

Maybe she will be. Dun, Dun, Dun!!!!

I've seen quite a few posts on other sites hoping that's the case. Seems a decent little twist to have the rival coach unknowingly turn out to be her biological mother. The only problem is that it's such a well speculated theory it hardly qualifies as much of a twist. Still a good direction for the story though I think.
