Rialto Chatter: GLEE Cast to Perform Live Farewell on Broadway or Beyond?

On Friday night, the cast of GLEE gathered at a farewell panel at Paleyfest to discuss the show's six year run, and the future. Amongst the questions and topics to the panel, was if we might see the cast reunite for additional live performances on Broadway or elsewhere. Lea Michele's answer? She would 'love to'.

We can confirm that it wasn't just a stock answer, as talks have indeed already taken place about possibly reuniting the cast for some sort of farewell, encore performance later this year. No doubt they're watching closely the immense interest in the cast of SMASH, who appear to have pre-sold out an Actors' Fund benefit just from the initial announcement and Kickstarter. Stay tuned Gleeks!

The cast of TV's GLEE was last seen performing live in Glee Live! In Concert! a concert tour, created by series creator Ryan Murphy. The tour played in 2010 and 2011 across North America, the UK and Ireland and was seen by over 500,000 fans.

Now in its sixth and final 13-episode season, the musical comedy GLEE will play its final episode on March 20, 2015.

Over the last five years, the series has followed a dynamic group of high school students from the halls of McKinley to the mean streets of New York City, as they embarked on life after high school. This season, after her humiliating failure as a TV actress, New Directions' original star, RACHEL BERRY (Golden Globe Award nominee Lea Michele), comes home to Lima to figure out what she wants to do next. Upon discovering that SUE SYLVESTER (Emmy Award winner Jane Lynch) has banished the arts at McKinley, Rachel takes it upon herself to reinstate and lead the GLEEclub. Meanwhile, BLAINE ANDERSON (Darren Criss), SAM EVANS (Chord Overstreet) and WILL SCHUESTER (Matthew Morrison) have all found surprising new gigs in Ohio. Throughout the season, other alumnae also will return to McKinley.
