The latest Glee promo is showered with new footage including the first listen of Lea Michele tackling Madonna’s “Like a Prayer”. The show returns on April 13 with episode “Hello” which will include a lot of songs with the syllables on the title and continue on April 20 with a Madonna-centric episode called “The Power of Madonna”.

Lea Michele has revealed what it was like kissing Jonathan Groff in Glee.

The actress, who plays Rachel Berry in the all-singing, all-dancing hit show, already locked lips with Jonathan every night when they starred together on Broadway in Spring Awakening.

She told E! Online: “It had been a really long time, so it was interesting when we had to do it for the first time on Glee.”

She continued: “But we had also done it so many times before that we sort of just jumped right back into it.”

The UK Mirror recently caught up with Glee stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron and Chris Colfer about their favorite Glee moments, audition processes, high school experiences and more.

Golden Globe-Nominee Lea Michele talked to the UK mirror about her audition process for the role of Rachel Berry. She explained that she had three separate auditions for the role and that for the first audition, “the piano player messed up and they were laughing at me. I was like, ‘Why are you laughing? This is supposed to be a serious scene.’ But it turned out I was doing a lot of things that were very much like Rachel Berry.”

Gleeks and theatre fans can rejoice. The April 13 spring premiere of Glee will feature guest appearances by Tony Award winner Idina Menzel and Tony nominee Jonathan Groff.

Both Menzel (Wicked, Rent) and Groff (Spring Awakening) were previously announced to guest star on the hit series, but airdates for their episodes had not been revealed.

As previously reported, Menzel will portray Shelby, the coach of McKinley High’s rival glee club Vocal Adrenaline. Groff (Spring Awakening) is set to appear as lead member of Vocal Adrenaline and a potential love interest for Rachel (portrayed by his former Spring Awakening co-star Lea Michele).

Unfortunately, Lea Michele, who plays Rachel, wasn’t able to attend this weekend’s Paley Festival Glee panel (moderated by yours truly), but no worries. We caught up with Michele last night at the CAA cocktail party for the GLAAD Media Awards to get her take on her television alter ego’s many romances.
