Lea Michele has come home.
30 years after making her Broadway debut as Young Cosette and Eponine in Les Misérables, the New Jersey native has returned to the Imperial Theatre, stepping into the undeniably adult heels of Florence Vassy in the hit revival of Chess through June 21.
In the latest episode of My Life in the Theatre, Michele shares stories from her career, including Audra McDonald teaching her how to sing, her foundational (and sweaty) friendship with Jonathan Groff (and how that led to Glee), and what shows she wants to do next.
