Groff to join cast of "Glee"...

Jonathan Groff will be reuniting with his "Spring Awakening" co-star Lea Michelle by guest-starring on the Fox hit, "Glee". He will be playing one of Lea's love interests on the show and has signed on for 5 or 6 episodes. Although the writing on the show is mediocre at best, millions of people tune in every week to hear the largely Broadway-alum cast sing popular songs including "Don't Stop Believin" and "Put a Ring on It". Groff will certainly add to the vocal power on the show, having starred in "Spring Awakening" (Tony nomination) and "Hair" in Central Park.

In other Groff news, he has been spotted with a new love interest: Gavin Creel. Strange because Creel took over Groff's role as Claude in "Hair" after he decided not to transfer to Broadway with the show, but to pursue his film and TV career instead (he recently starred in Ang Lee's "Taking Woodstock"). It seems that Groff has found a good way to stay connected to the Broadway show though! The two are keeping their relationship out of the public eye, and have used the time together to swap "I played Claude in "Hair" stories."
