It's only fitting that for a show so fond of Broadway stars as guests (see: Idina Menzel, Kristin Chenowith, and uh, Neil Patrick Harris?), Glee should land the Big Mama (Rose) of them all for their upcoming season finale, Patti Lupone. The Great White Way legend, late of Gypsy, has apparently will be acting against Lea Michele and Cory Monteith in the May 28th finale. No further details have been released, but borderline-creepy Twitter account @BroadwaySpotted has been tracking Lupone's every move!
In fact, Lupone joined Glee stars at Sardi's, according to Broadway.com, and she's been referenced in the show before, what with Michele's character, Rachel Berry, hoping her biological mother was Lupone.
The young cast has been tweeting their way across the city this week, stopping along the way to model alarmingly short shorts and shop for mad bling.
