Should she land the role, the Tony-winning actress’ career would be coming full circle. Michele made her Broadway debut playing Young Cosette back in 1995, when she was just 8 years old.

Michele would join a star-studded cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway.

The New York Post‘s Page 6 initially reported that Michele, Taylor Swift, Scarlett Johansson and Evan Rachel Wood had each auditioned for the role.
