GLEE Full Performance of America

[@soccerlife8912]

Naya’s performance still gives me chills. Even now. Fly high baby girl.

[@TheStabbyMedic]

She’s not the only one.

[@LadyFalcon17]

What a loss. 💔

Especially knowing she was cast as Anita for the remake they released last year. She died before filming started and the role was recast.

James Scarborough right 😆😆

[@joshwhyatt5540]

Three guys who own the three funeral homes in Lima payed for West Side Story

[@jamesscarborough6038]

Josh Whyatt and who paid for the full jungle scene and costumes for Roar? Or the really detailed Katy/Gaga costumes? Or the decked out auditorium every Christmas???

[@joshwhyatt5540]

James Scarborough I can’t answer those but I know how they put on West Side Story

[@SergioDiaz94]

@@jamesscarborough6038 They talked about that on THE 100 episode, that Kristin Chenowerth's character was the one funding the auditorium from 2 million dollars she got from the wife of a man she was cheating with, and that they ended up spending all of that, and Sue points out that Will used to do performances like that only just for him.

Maybe Rachel was suppoused to be the broadway star in glee, but i think Santana could be a great one, in a modern way. Rachel in a classic way and Santana in a modern way, even if West Side is a classic, but in the end for me Santana was the biggest star on glee because she always shined in every thing she did. RIP Naya Rivera, we will miss you

Ok everyone’s talking about how realistic the set and costumes are and how confusing the Glee clubs funding is but how come nobody notices the orchestra pit

[@Bramblestorm12Gaming]

I’m jealous, they have an actual wall separating their pit from the audience, all my school had was like, gate barriers

[@javierasalgadoreyes]

And they have a BAND too

[@nathanpanusky2531]

Because that's the point of an orchestra pit

[@daisygrant-fuidge4361]

Ours in my school was sunk in the ground below the audience and it was covered over by the floor when not in use 🤷🏼‍♀️

They should have done a whole musical special episode so we could have seen the whole thing.

[@octabodemes]

how did they have issues finding new glee members when all these kids were somewhere around their school??

[@edithg6259]

The boys are from the football team Bc they were forced by coach. And the girls are cheerleaders Bc they always join as background people

[@freya9124]

cus everyone hated glee club

[@javierasalgadoreyes]

The random guys are football players and they had to play because of coach Beiste

This is when Coach Beiste had forced the football team into joining and the girls are Cheerios

To be fair, glee club is not the same as musical theater, they just blurt the lines at point

[@rhiannon1121]

a funny thing is that before Grant Gustin was Sebastian in glee he was in West Side Story but left the tour for glee

[@MissAnthrope]

Ryan Murphy would write personal details into the script to make the actors uncomfortable, so this was probably at least partially inspired by that then 😬

First they say Mr. Schu doesn’t know anything about choreography, and then like three episodes later he’s this fantastic choreographer? Pick a lane people! And what was with Jesse’s sudden turn on Rachel between “Dream On” and “Funk”? Where the heck did that come from? Honestly that show, it’s irresponsible.

[@challengingarmadillo8472]

Mr. Schu did not direct or choreograph this show. Majority of this was done by Artie, and he’s always wanted to dance so it isn’t hard to believe he studied up.

[@xxgamin6986]
