S.T.A.G.E. Benefit on April 6 Welcomes Alex Newell to Cast

In the last two years, Alex Newell has gone from regular high school student to appearing on one of the hottest series on television. Newell can currently be seen in the recurring role of "Wade ?Unique? Adams" on FOX?s "Glee," and has quickly become a fan favorite. Introduced at the end of season three last year, ?Unique? is back this season and better than ever. Newell shines as shy, timid, outcast Wade, and his alter-ego Unique, whose bold and daring personality and talent on stage demands attention in every scene she is in. The drastic change from each character has shown not only Newell?s powerhouse vocals, but also his versatility as an actor.

Newell will be making his first S.T.A.G.E. appearance in this year's shoW. Wells Fargo is the Presenting Sponsor with Grand Sponsors HBO and Swerdlove & Aster.
