I always see a lot of mixed opinions about her on this board . So my question to you all is

If she were to return to Broadway what role do you think would be perfect for her

You know that chorus girl who's in the very back of the crowd, all the way upstage and over to the left, basically offstage? She should be to the left of that girl.

Seems the masses have stayed clear from her and her original GLEE target audience has grown up and tired of her as well. All her recent attempts of getting back on the radar have failed colossally - her album, her TV talk show appearances, etc. NO ONE CARES! I wouldn't be surprised if she is part of this Fall's DANCING WITH THE STARS line-up of D-List celebrities. Ryan Murphy was one smart cookie to let the whole Lea Michele/FUNNY GIRL on Broadway nonsense fade off.

She's in a new series in the fall, called The Mayor, I think. Daveed Diggs is one of the producers.

Back on Broadway? no thanks.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

I've never understand the hate towards her . I never watched Glee when it first came out but she has an amazing voice . I would love to see her back on Broadway . Her Eponine was breathtaking

The attitude towards her stems 100% from who she is personally.

She has a role on a sitcom this fall (The Mayor) so I don't see her rushing back to the theater. She's still clinging to her dreams of Hollywood stardom.

She's got a gig lined up in the fall already. Series regular on The Mayor on ABC

From Tony winner Executive Producer Daveed Diggs (Broadway's Hamilton), writer/executive producer Jeremy Bronson (Speechless, The Mindy Project, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon) and executive producer Jamie Tarses (Happy Endings), the series is from ABC Studios. The pilot is directed by Executive Producer James Griffiths (black-ish).

The series stars Brandon Micheal Hall as Courtney Rose, Lea Michele as Valentina, Bernard David Jones as Jermaine Hardaway, Marcel Spears as TK and Yvette Nicole Brown as Dina. The Mayor is from ABC Studios.

Even Ryan Murphy's Queen Jessica Lange famously dismissing Lea Michele on the red carpet says it all about how the entertainment community feels about her:

This is intriguing. Can you tell us more about her (seriously) ? I've always heard mixed things about her.

Just Google: "Lea Michele reputation" and you'll get a nice breakdown on her self-acknowledged "diva" reputation which has soured her to many, even Jessica Lange.

Hell, find a RAGTIME cast member willing to talk about how she was in 1998.

But I ain't one to gossip, so you ain't heard that from me.

I disagree. I hated her back in Spring Awakening.

There was thread on these forums that detailed her behavior and antics during SA. Then the thread disappeared.

i googled about her reputation and this was the first result. I think it is perfectly accurate as to why people don't like her.

Damn... regardless of how you feel about her, that's just painful to watch...
