A few weeks ago, Michele (as prissy song bird, Rachel Berry) tore it up on Glee's version of "Defying Gravity", a song made famous by Menzel's Tony-winning turn as Elphaba in Wicked.  Which then set the whole theatre-blogosphere atwitter with the hopes we'd one day see a "Menchele" duet.

While promoting his own TV-turn as Dr. Sam Bennett on ABC's Private Practice, Menzel's husband Taye Diggs told Fancast: “I know that she would love that.” He goes on to say, "They know each other, so we knew that [resemblance] existed far, far before the TV world did.” (and also because he's not blind!)  “We are just so happy to see a lot of these theater kids get the opportunity to do some television work.”

Us too, Taye!  So listen up Glee Gods--bring these two Broadway babies together!
