As BroadwayWorld previously reported, GLEE creator Ryan Murphy recently called for a boycott of Newsweek Magazine, after the publication ran a piece by Ramin Setoodeh, in which the contributing writing questioned the believability of gay actors playing straight men on stage and screen. Setoodeh posed the question: 'Heterosexual actors play gay all the time. Why doesn't it ever work in reverse?'

Last month, the producers of GLEE launched a nationwide MySpace casting call. With 28,000 auditions, 18 million video views and 85 million gold stars already given to the hopefuls, the response to the GLEE open casting call on MySpace was so overwhelming that the submission window was extended, ending on Thursday, April 29 at 11:59 AM PST.

Here's a sneak look at next week's episode of GLEE, 'Dream On', which airs Tuesday night, May 18th! In an episode directed by Emmy Award winner Joss Whedon, Mr. Schuester's former high school nemesis (Neil Patrick Harris) causes trouble for the glee club. Rachel struggles with a life-long personal issue, and Artie's dreams take him on an adventure. Additional guest stars include Molly Shannon, Idina Menzel and Jonathan Groff.
Like the episodes preceding it in the second half of the season, this week's episode of GLEE has a theme: finding one's voice. ‘Laryngitis' revolves around Puck's attempts to regain popularity after a trip to the skin doctor forces him to part with his signature mohawk, which in turn leads to his being deposited in a dumpster by the school's geeks, Rachel Berry's tonsillitis, and Kurt's attempts to connect with his father. Ultimately, though, ‘Laryngitis' left me wishing the writers would come down with a case of the illness themselves (I realize the tie-in is forced, but so is most of the show's writing).
GLEE creator Ryan Murphy has just sent out the following open letter: 'I would like to join my good friend Kristin Chenoweth on her condemnation of a recent Newsweek article written by Mr. Ramin Setoodeh, in which Setoodeh basically says that out gay actors should go back into the closet and never attempt to play straight characters. This article is as misguided as it is shocking and hurtful. It shocks me because Mr. Setoodeh is himself gay. But what is the most shocking of all is that Newsweek went ahead and published such a blatantly homophobic article in the first place...and has remained silent in the face of ongoing (and justified) criticism. Would the magazine have published an article where the author makes a thesis statement that minority actors should only be allowed and encouraged to play domestics? I think not.
