Meet Will Schuester’s new rival.

Broadway star Idina Menzel is in negotiations to recur on Fox’s Glee.

Menzel, who may appear in all of the remaining nine episodes of the season, will play the coach to glee club Vocal Adrenaline, McKinley High’s glee club’s main competition.

Menzel has said she is a big fan of Glee.

She won a Tony for her role on Wicked. Her co-star on the show, Kristin Chenoweth, guest starred on Glee this season.

Menzel is the second Broadway name to recur on Glee this spring.

Jonathan Groff, who co-starred opposite Glee star Lea Michele in the Broadway production of Spring Awakening, will be doing a five- to six-episode story arc playing the lead male vocalist of Vocal Adrenaline and a potential love interest for Michele’s Rachel Berry.
