With graduation on the horizon and no news yet on whether or not the cameras will follow Rachel as she goes after her dreams of becoming a Broadway star, Lea Michele still has some decisions to make about her life after Glee.

Before Michele took her voice to the small screen and made herself a household name, she was performing on Broadway in the musical Spring Awakening. E! Online reports that Michele could reprise her role in an upcoming movie adaptation of the show to be directed by McG.

"We're talking to Lea Michele because she made the role of Wendla famous and we';; see if that pans out and works with the timing of her schedule on [Glee]," said McG. "I love Lea; we've talked about it. When I first got turned onto the show she was in it so it's her voice that echoes in my heart. I really think she's wonderful and we'll see where it takes us."

Although the actress has said she is not currently in talks to be in the film, Entertainment Weekly reported that it's not out of the question. A rep for the actress released a statement saying that while early conversations about the project did happen, there is nothing confirmed at this time.

"Spring Awakening is so special to me as is the character Wendla," said Michele in a statement. "We have discussed this as a possibility, and we'll see what happens."

The play, which is based on a German play with the same name, is about a group of teenagers who are discovering their sexuality and dealing with tough subjects that often face adolescents like abortion, rape, suicide and masturbation. The show won eight Tony Awards during its run on Broadway.
