Broadway-bound Ricky Martin might soon make a stop at GLEE's McKinley High, according to TVLine. Martin is currently in talks to play 'the hottest Spanish teacher ever in the history of Ohio,' early next year.

Martin will soon star as Ché alongside Elena Roger and Michael Cerveris in the upcoming Broadway production of EVITA. Olivier Award winner Michael Grandage and Tony Award winner Rob Ashford will also return to direct and choreograph, respectively. This is the first new Broadway production of the seven-time Tony Award-winning musical since it debuted on Broadway more than 30 years ago.

Now in its third season, GLEE is a musical comedy about a group of eager and ambitious students who strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High. Since its debut, GLEE has become a bona fide cultural phenomenon, received prestigious honors including the Golden Globe and Peabody Award and singlehandedly made glee clubs cool again.

In addition to the regular cast, GLEE has featured guest appearances by a wide range of talented performers, including Gwyneth Paltrow (who won the 2011 Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series), Carol BurnettKathy GriffinCheyenne JacksonJohn Stamos,Britney Spears, Kristen Chenoweth, Idina MenzelJonathan GroffMolly ShannonOlivia Newton-John and Neil Patrick Harris, who won a 2010 Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the show.
