Broadway star Idina Menzel has started filming her "Glee" episodes.Lea Michele tweeted Thursday (Jan. 21): "On set with the lovely Idina Menzel:) So happy she is on our show!"
It was announced back in December that Idina Menzel would guest star -- a booking all "Glee" fans had been eagerly anticipating. We were all hoping she'd be cast as Rachel's biological mom. Instead, Menzel is going to appear as the director of Vocal Adrenaline, the uber-professional rival show choir of "Glee's" New Directions.
Menzel is signed on for the entire back nine -- that is, the final nine episodes of the first season, so it stands to reason that Vocal Adrenaline and the regional show choir competition are a big part of the latter half of season one.
Are you guys excited to see "Wicked" star Idina Menzel flex the golden pipes on "Glee?" The show returns to FOX April 13.

Glee just gets better and better. Top talent! Great music. Fox has its latest hit. Can't wait for it to return!
This is absolutely amazing. Idina is incredible, and such a sweet woman. The cast is going to have so much fun with her and I can't wait to see the episodes.
so awesome! When I learned taht Idina was gonna be in Glee for sure I watched the entire season so that I wouldn't have anything to catch up when her episodes'd come!
This along with Joss Whedon directing NPH in an upcoming episode are why I am almost as excited for Glee to return as I am for Lost. Almost... ; )
So excited about this! Idina is one of my idols, such an amazing talent, and I love Glee! Great combination! And I met Idina nearly 2 years ago in London, UK. She was sooo sweet! Really looking forward to see her on the show!
Holy crap, they look so alike...
OH my gosh. This is going to be the greatest thing to ever happen on television. Ever.

They must have a subplot where the 2 of them are related somehow! LOOK at them!
There is no reason why Idina's character still couldn't be Rachael biological mom. I hope they work it in...look @ the 2 of them together. WOW! So excited!
