Finally, something the Gleeks have all been waiting for. The cast of Glee will be on a concert tour in four major cities in the USA on May 2010. The seven-date U.S. “Glee Live! In Concert!” tour will kick off in Phoenix Arizona on May 18, just over a month after Fox’s Golden Globe award-winning musical series’ comeback.
Everyone in the show are psyched up for the coming concert tour. Lea Michele, who plays soloist Rachel Berry, said, “This has been such an extraordinary year for ‘Glee’ and I can’t think of a better way to finish up the first season than performing live on stage with the cast.” Ryan Murphy, Glee co-creator also stated that The response of the fans to our little show has been so immediate and so gratifying, we wanted to get out and thank them live and in person.”
Just like Sectionals, the Glee cast have a set list for their live performance. This includes the group performances “Don’t Stop Believin’”. “Somebody to Love” and “Jump” and the solo performances “Don’t Rain on My Parade” and Puck’s “Sweet Caroline”.
The following Glee cast will be joining the concert tour: Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Chris Colfer (Kurt), Kevin McHale (Artie), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Mark Salling (Puck), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Naya Rivera (Santana), Heather Morris (Brittany), Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike) and Dijon Talton (Matt). Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing a bit of Mr. Schuester, Emma and Sue on the concert tour. Well, who knows?
“Glee” tour tickets go on sale to the public Mar. 18 for the Phoenix date and Mar. 13 for other cities; pre-sale tickets are available on Friday (Mar. 5) for American Express cardholders.
Right after the concert tour, the production of Glee Season 2 will start.
