Lea Michele Gushes About Broadway’s Wicked; Says Her ‘Heart Literally Exploded’ Attending The Show For First Time in 20 Years

20 years ago, I fell in love with the magical world of Wicked, and now, as an obsessed fan, I’ve had the chance to relive that enchantment with my son by rewatching the musical! Overjoyed, I couldn’t resist sharing a heartwarming moment with the incredible cast on Instagram. There was Alexandra Socha, radiant as Glinda, and Mary Kate Morrissey, who donned the captivating costume of Elphaba. It was truly a dream come true!

Accompanying a touching photo, the actress posted a heartfelt message, thanking the “remarkable cast” for an exceptional journey. Her words read, “Two decades after watching Wicked for the first time, I never thought I’d return, but now I am, with my son.” Michele continued, “And he knows every lyric to ‘Defying Gravity.’ My heart burst open with emotion.

In a touching closing, the actress from Glee expressed gratitude, saying, “I want to thank each member of our amazing cast so much for turning our day into something extraordinary with their outstanding performance!

On the following slide, the actress posted a photo featuring herself alongside Socha, symbolizing their meet-up since their days working together in Spring Awakening.

Besides going to a Broadway musical with her son, Michele was also present at the opening night of the Wicked film, featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as the main characters.

During that period, the actress from Scream Queens posted a photo showing her partially prepared self as she was expressing milk for her newborn child born in 2024. In the description, she humorously noted, “These days, my accessories have taken on a whole new meaning.

On Watch What Happens Live, the actress openly expressed her enthusiasm for the highly-regarded Wicked film project and her dream of playing Elphaba. In the end, it was Cynthia Erivo who took on the role.

In a nostalgic conversation with a media outlet, a mother of two expressed, “That would be amazing! I’m not sure if they’ve discussed it publicly yet. If they have, I haven’t been informed. However, I’m standing backstage, painting myself green in anticipation.
