Her most recent performance on stage was in the role of "Wendla" for the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of "Spring Awakening," which also garnered her a Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Actress in a Musical.

This March, Michele's highly anticipated album Louder debuted at No. 1 on itunes and in the top 5 on Billboard charts. Michele can currently be seen in the 5th season of Ryan Murphy's critically acclaimed, Golden Globe and SAG award winning show GLEE. In 2010, Michele was honored with both an Emmy nomination for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series" and a Golden Globe nomination for "Best Television Actress - Comedy and won a SAG Award for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series."
