The stage has always been familiar territory for Michele. She made her Broadway debut at the tender age of 8, portraying young Cosette in “Les Misérables” in 1995. In 2006, she garnered attention for her leading role in the Broadway production of “Spring Awakening.” However, it was her portrayal of Rachel Berry in the hit TV series “Glee,” created by Ryan Murphy, that truly propelled her into the spotlight and made her a household name. Sadly, her time on “Glee” was marred by allegations of bullying behavior from her co-stars, prompting her to issue a public apology. Michele acknowledged her past actions as insensitive and inappropriate, attributing them to her own immaturity. She expressed a commitment to personal growth and taking responsibility for her behavior.
Despite the challenges she faced, Michele’s talent and impact have not gone unnoticed. She was recently honored by Time magazine, being named one of the 100 most influential people in the world. Additionally, on May 2, she had the privilege of announcing the Tony nominations for this year alongside Myles Frost, star of the upcoming musical “MJ.”
