Following up on earlier rumors that he is going to star in a Broadway show, GLEE star and author of the children's book series THE LAND OF STORIES Chris Colfer revealed more details about his potential role to Larry King today. Click below to watch the full interview, and zero in on Colfer's Broadway remarks at around 21:35!

When King asked the actor, "Would you like to be in a play -- Broadway theatre?" Colfer responded, "Oh, I'd love to, yeah. I might be doing one soon, hopefully. Been talking about it. It'll be very vocally demanding, so I'm terrified about it."

He added, "I love singing, I love it. But I don't like it when it becomes a job, though. I love singing in the shower and when I'm cleaning the house, but when it becomes work, that's when I don't care for it."

In a different interview earlier this year Colfer responded to a question about taking the stage, saying, "I've had many, many meetings and whatnot about doing it, and I think I'm just kind of looking for the right thing. I really want to originate or create something new. Whether in a new musical or a new play or a revival, just as long as it's new. But I can't wait. And yeah, there are things in the works. I've gotta do it, it's in my blood. I can't not."
