GLEE star Lea Michele knows just the celebrity to be featured in a new Rock musical; Madonna. Her answer to 'which singer, songwriter, or band makes music that you think would thrive in a theater?' is included in a new feature from Newsweek.
In the piece, Michele shares: 'Her songs are entertaining and they take you on a little journey. 'Papa Don't Preach' and 'Like a Prayer' tell great stories.'
After this week's Madonna themed GLEE episode, series creator Ryan Murphy is reportedly already in talks with the singer about a sequel.
According to EW.com, Murphy has confirmed that he's in discussions and that "Madonna and herpeople are into it and want it to happen." If a sequel were to happen, it would air early in the next season and would include six more Madonna hits. There is some talk that fans may be able to vote on which songs should be used!)
Tuesday's episode had 13.5 million viewers and the soundtrack is currently number one on iTunes.
