Finding Glee in “Glee!”

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.

What are your favorite “Glee!” moments? Share them below! I will write more in the future, including the dish on that prima donna from my school days!
