'Glee': Idina Menzel on How Playing Lea Michele's Mom Bruised Her Ego
The Big Picture Glee may have ended its six season run back in 2014, but the hit Fox show seemingly hasn't left the headlines thanks to countless members of the cast recalling their negative experiences during production. The latest Glee alum to speak out about their time on the show is Broadway legend Idina Menzel, who appeared on the show as Shelby Corcoran, estranged mother to Lea Michele's Rachel Berry, saying the experience "wasn't great for the ego.
In an interview with Stellar Magazine, the Wicked star said “You know, you’re worried you’re not going to work again, and then people hire you to be someone’s mother when you probably should be their older sister." She continued "It just wasn’t great for the ego. But I sucked it up and sucked myself into my clothes, and was excited to work with [creator] Ryan Murphy and be a part of that hit show.
Despite any bruising to the ego Menzel may have endured during her time on Glee, she asserted that she does look back on the role fondly, in which she would appear in a guest capacity until 2013. Some of her cast mates view the time less favorably however, with multiple individuals speaking out about their experiences – particularly regarding Michele's behaviour.
In November 2022, fellow cast members Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushkowitz recalled Michele's on-set behavior in an interview with Us Weekly, with McHale saying "We all come from different backgrounds and different experiences, and there were definitely moments of, like, ‘Is that normal?’" He added "But we didn’t necessarily know any better and we were all learning together.
Glee is available to stream on Hulu. You can also check out Collider's interview with Menzel and her Uncut Gems costars below:
