Olivia Newton-John to get “Physical” in a guest star role on Glee

Olivia Newton-John looking very Sandra Dee sweet, circa 1988

Olivia Newton-John will be guest starring in an episode of Glee when the show returns in April, and she’ll be singing with Jane Lynch! Zap 2 It has the scoop:

There is no word yet on what her specific role will be, but Murphy says Olivia will be singing her 1981 hit “Physical” with Jane Lynch’s Sue Sylvester. We hope there are some Cheerios doing stunts and gymnastics in the background.

Amen to the Cheerios stunts bit! I’m also extremely hopeful that Olivia will wear a matching tracksuit with Sue. That would just be brilliant. What role will she be playing though? Will she be playing herself (like Josh Groban did in “Acafellas”), or will she take on a new character (like Kristin Chenoweth in “The Rhodes Not Taken”)? Either way, I can’t wait to find out! The guest stars on Glee just keep getting more and more fun!
