LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- In May, audiences were first given a glimpse of FOX's "Glee," when the network aired the pilot after the finale of "American Idol," forcing fans to wait until the show's return in fall for more. In addition to a stellar ensemble cast, hilarious writing and amazing pop songs re-imagined by a misfit high school choir, the series introduced a breakout star in the form of chanteuse Lea Michele.

Idina gave birth to their son, Walker Diggs, on Wednesday, a rep for Diggs confirmed to Access Hollywood.

A rep for the "Private Practice" star confirmed the news to Access Hollywood on Tuesday.

There had been buzz that the seventh longest running show in Broadway history would extend longer. It has grossed over $280 million during its Broadway run.

"Rent" was responsible for helping to usher in a number of important changes to Broadway and its marketing, including the use of simpler, more contemporary advertising and logo design; the rebirth of 41st Street's Nederlander Theatre; a shop and windows at Bloomingdales that featured clothing inspired by the show and its costumes; the institution of same day front row seats priced at $20; and the appeal to and attraction of teen and college-age audiences.
