EW Reveals Scoops on GLEE Tour - Sets, Songs & Story!

In an unprecedented live event, Twentieth Century Fox Television and "Glee" co-creator Ryan Murphy are bringing the hit television show to concert stages this spring.

Entertainment Weekly has some scoops on the tour, having discovered that:

“We’re gonna do between 15 and 18 numbers,” explains Glee creator Ryan Murphy, who’s also producing and directing the concert. “We made a decision to do our biggest hits because that’s what fans want to see. It’s a concert tour but it also has a story in it.” Staying true to the series, the plot will focus on the kids of New Directions and their rivalry with glee club all-stars, Vocal Adrenaline."

Production on the series’ first season wraps Monday and then the cast will go into heavy rehearsals for the tour, which Murphy promises will be visually spectacular thanks to a set designed by Lady Gaga’s set designer.

Beginning Wednesday, May 18 at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona, "Glee" stars 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) will perform in a singing and dancing celebration of the Golden Globe Award winning show.

"Glee Live! In Concert!," is a unique concert experience conceived by Murphy that will include live performances of some of the show's most memorable musical numbers including its anthem "Don't Stop Believin," fan favorites "Somebody To Love" and "Jump" and hits "Don't Rain on My Parade" and "Sweet Caroline."

"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," commented Murphy. "And what show lends itself more to a concert than ‘Glee?' We can't wait to take this show on the road and the actors couldn't be more excited to perform live for audiences in these four cities."
