I am sure many of you have had the joy of watching Glee on Fox this past season. I am pleased to say that my room mate Emily and I have become increasingly obsessed with this drama/comedy about high school misfits. I have an older post about my love for musicals, and this was the reason I started watching Glee in the first place. I am a sucker for anything that sings and dances! However, the show is more than just kids singing show tunes. The writing behind the series is actually very witty and smart. A good show is made up of three things ( In my opinion at least) 1: Good acting. 2: Good Writing 3: Like-able characters. Fortunately for Glee, it shines in all of these areas. The main diva of the show (Racheal Berry, played by Lea Michele) is a bossy, slightly conceded, but charmingly honest ambitious teenager with no thing distracting her from her life goal of becoming a star. Finn (played by Cory Monteith) is the distracted but heartfelt confused boy, in love with the snotty cheerleader. The only thing bringing these two opposites together is their love for singing and Glee club. Lea Michele tried to make her mark on broadway for years. She has been around for while, most well known for her role in Les Miserables. Non of the stars on the show had much in their pockets before starting on Glee. Now they have the whole of the United States begging for more. It just goes to show you I was right. EVERYONE loves musicals, admittedly or not, they are an uplifter. Sing away guys!
GLEE I love you!
