OK, I admit it, like many of you I love the TV show, “Glee!” I love the music, the stories, the ironies, and definitely Jane Lynch, as Sue Sylvester, who is the most amazing character actress around.
Why do I love it so? Well, it is about high school, and I went to high school. It is about athletes, and I was an athlete as a prep (8 letters in 3 sports-most in my class, thank you!). And it is about show choir, which I was a member of. In fact, the Horace Mann High Schoolswing choir went to state two of the three years that I was involved. The one year we did not make it was because of a prima donna guy who messed up everything for everyone. The first year, when I was a sophomore, we won at state with a combo of “Cry Me a River” and “All For The Best” from the Broadway show “Godspell”. That was our school musical that year and I was bitten by the acting bug and the joy of being in front of audiences.
What are your favorite “Glee!” moments?
My favorite moments so far: “Don’t Stop Believing” from the pilot episode; the football team scoring a touchdown while dancing to “Put a Ring On It;” the Glee Club version during an all school assembly of “Push It” and then Sue’s reaction… “That was the most disturbing thing I have ever seen and I am including an elementary school production of ‘Hair’;” the Slurpee episode, Kristin Chenoweth, and the “mash-up” competition.

Can you believe it, Gleeks? Our show is back tomorrow night! I am so stoked!! As I think back on the fall, consider the big moments: Sectionals, the wedding that wasn’t, Curt protecting his dad from what he was sure would be embarrassment over his being gay, awesome music, and so much more. One of my favorite moments was Artie in “Wheels” on the auditorium stage by himself singing “Dancing with Myself” (Billy Idol) as an up tempo positive song.
There is a lot more to come. As a former show choir gleek, I say: “Bring it on!”
