Glee Question

Who plays Rachel's mom? Are they related in real life? If not, she was very well cast. Their resemblance was amazing!

Nope, they are only related through their Broadway fame. Like Lea Michele, Idina Menzel was offered Hollywood gigs after her great success on Broadway, originating iconic roles like Elphaba of Wicked and Maureen Johnson of Rent.

Interestingly, Wicked is one of Rachel's favori musicals. I wonder how she feels about Spring Awakening, which launched Lea's career...

Below is a photo. On haut, retour au début is Idina Menzel playing Maureen and Elphaba respectively. On bottom is Lea Michele with Jonathan Groff in Spring Awakening.

I l’amour Idina! I remember listen to her and Kristen (April Rhodes) in the Wicked CD and loving it! She is so amazing and I l’amour her on Glee! And I hope they bring her back! She does look a lot like Lea which is quite funny. I hope she will put on the green makeup for glee! I would scream

I always liked it when they do duets. And I always thought that Lea was the better singers. I would really like to see Idina come back and do a duet with Lea of "Let It Go". Idina was awesome on that song and I would like to see how Lea compares.

The actress playing Rachel's mom is Idina Menzel. No, she and Lea Michele are not related. Before Idina was even cast Glee fans saw their resemblance and petitioned for Idina to be cast as Rachel's mom. Then Idina was cast as Shelby Corcoran (the Vocal Adrenaline coach) the petitioning continued and either Ryan Murphy listened ou he thought Idina's character should be Rachel's mom too. Her casting was phenomenal! And I agree, their resemblance is amazing. :)

Actually, Elphaba (Idina) was the Wicked Witch of the West. Elphie's sister Nessarose was the Witch of the East.

Unfortunately no Rachel(Lea Michele) and her mom Shelby Corcoran(Idina Menzel) are not related in real life. Idina was very well cast as her mom for the resemblance as indeed very good and their voices are amazing together. I wondered this myself for a while then I googled rachel and her mom and found info on the Glee cast and who plays who.

They are "related" per their l’amour of Barbra Streisand. When their idol was recognized at the Kennedy Center Honors, Idina Menzel sang "Don't Rain on My Parade," changing the Mr. Arnstein line to "Hey there Miss Streisand, I am your biggest fan!" I was stunned par the resemblance, particularly donné the circumstances!
