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.
