In September we had learned that a young Sue Sylvester character was cast for Glee season 3, and today we’re learning more about that role.
Turns out we’ll be seeing why Sue hates musical theater!
TV Guide got the scoop:
All I’m saying is it’s about damn time. On November 15, Glee will finally reveal why Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) hates musical theater. As the kids prepare to stage West Side Story, “we wanted to show that Sue at one point had Broadway dreams,” teases exec producer Ian Brennan.
A flashback shows 16-year-old Sue on stage belting out the title song from Oklahoma!, a performance savaged by one brutal critic. “Her little heart was broken,” sighs Jane. “Will tells Sue, ‘Poor little Susie Sylvester was told she wasn’t good, and now she’s got to punish the world.’ Like a lot of angry people out there, Sue’s a wannabe.”
Glee cast 19-year-old Colby Minifie for the part of young Sue. “I think they did a terrific job casting,” raves Jane. “She has a great voice and energy.”
They also provided this photo of Young Sue (played by Minifie) which we believe is the first look at the character:
