GLEE - Full Performance of ''Nowadays/Hot Honey Rag'' from ''The Substitute"

[@jeanselina]

This high school has the biggest theater budget in the universe.

[@ernshaw78]

I wish UNIVERSITY theatre budget could do this.

[@radenmchaerul2006]

jeanselina loll

[@IceCreamCookie]

And at multiple times they complain about it.

[@LiveAsDiva]

Yet they keep complaining about auditorium and bus fee to sectional hahaha

[@noblesetsentimentales]

jeanselina No wonder Sue is always complaining about them.

[@e9590]

how are they always complaining about the glee club not being well funded yet they do the most when it comes to performing

[@eyi-eq2bt]

Haha yeah

[@emseoane779]

well april rhodes became rich and donated a bunch of her money to them until season 5, and in season 2 the cheerios lost some funding and it went to glee club cause they lost nationals (cheerios lost I mean)

[@Jadethespade5191]

Sue even made a few jokes about it in the show LOL!

[@koolcats8Aj441M40D]

It’s also a tv show lol, fox needed to make it interesting

[@rabitita9005]

they blow their money on shit like this

[@kfcshalissatheofficalkerna8362]

1) Chris winking was beautiful 2) Dianna holding onto Chris during some of the performance was great cause they don't ever seem like friends in the show. 3) Finn's confused expression at the beginning (Like every other performance)

[@glittergrasshopper1144]

KfcShalissa TheOfficialKernalSanders didnt even notice diana and chris at first, so many possible friendships left unexplored

[@michaelhruska5870]

You forgot about Mike's dancing in his seat

[@taygold7]

And everyone’s reaction once the music sped up

[@max123__]

Quinn and Kurt had a mini-friendship in season 1 that could’ve had so so much potential

[@MatthewBlossoms]

Max Levine well, I wouldn’t call it a mini friendships. They spoke once in the whole season about giving Rachel a makeover and Kurt even commented that it was the first time Quinn had spoken to him.

[@Ebathora]

I haven't watched Glee in yeaars but I've recently been rewatching old Glee musical numbers and Finn's confused expression that begins half of them has absolutely NO context for me anymore and is hilarious

[@ernshaw78]

He was a great guy on the show. I miss that show ferociously now.

[@KariIzumi1]

It’s better that way

[@vida.1522]

Their voices sound REALLY good together

[@sarawinardi7662]

I was thinking the same thing

[@limasquarterback]

@@sarawinardi7662 but their dancing sucks

[@tingangeles1454]

I wish Lea Michele and Diana Agron did this number!

[@PolyBiBadger]

Ernestino Angeles YESSSSS!

[@user-rx8hh8tp3z]

Lea and chris

[@Max-my6rk]

dead

[@joelle3273]

YES

[@wd2642]

That would’ve made this performance absolute perfection. In fact, Lea and Dianna could totally star in a remake of Chicago with Lea as Roxie and Dianna as Velma. Dianna has the sultry, seductive voice Velma has as well as her confident, ‘femme fatale’ attitude. Lea, obviously, takes after the diva, self righteous attitude Roxie has. I’d totally pay money to see THAT.

[@wd2642]

Rachel could totally pass as Tony Stark’s daughter(her ego and confidence, as well as her intelligence would make sense), and this performance is her and her step-mom, Pepper Potts, having a little fun. 😂😂

[@Firegirl483]

It's so funny now seeing this now since they have a daughter

[@unniehwasacl7909]

Now i am thinking about morgan :(((((

[@Ously6]

Wᴀʟᴋɪɴɢ Dᴇᴀᴅ Also, the whole short brunette thing

[@tamrepublic]

STOP OMG THATS WHAT IM SEEING NOW

[@danielachamorro8783]

Lea Michele wouldn’t be super far from an adult Morgan. Pepper could lit just be her mom

[@taygold7]

Finn cheering Rachel on is adorable, but how cute were Quinn and Kurts reactions?

[@avdfx]

Its good but nothing beats Catherine Zeta-Jones and Renee Zellweger in this Hot Honey Rag part! They're awesome! 😍

[@manuelorozco7760]

I'm overdue to revisit the movie

[@maddieclarke258]

It’s the one movie musical I enjoy more than the stage format. Film as a media just did so much for portraying the songs in Roxie’s head

[@gregoryschmidt1233]

Um, check it out with actual trained broadway dancers, like Bebe Neuwirth, Chita Rivera, Ann Reinking, etc

[@stephaniefaith6795]

I seriously don't know how Sue and Schuster fight over money. My school can barely afford spotlights.

[@FloreMar-yp3iz]

At school we use a truck as a stage v:

[@itskirstiswani98]

OMG Kurt lip singing it

[@laetitiavandaalen7164]

They lip sing in almost every performance but can still sing great tho

[@itskirstiswani98]

I meant Kurt in the audience is lip singing it when Holly & Rachel are performing it

[@laetitiavandaalen7164]

ow haha never mind :P

[@fallenarchangel2682]

And Finn's face

[@loucheckley8927]

I'm still disappointed they never did a Chicago tribute episode. Don't get me wrong, I love the West Side Story episode, but if you don't have enough actors of the correct race for West Side Story, you're kind of missing the point of the musical as a whole (although I'm aware the film did the same thing with casting a white woman as Maria). It's just that with the incredible female voices Glee had, you'd of thought RM would have at least debated doing a Chicago tribute (I am aware plenty of Chicago's soundtrack has been covered as well). Although, tbf if they did a Chicago tribute and it was like Rachel as Velma, Kurt as Amos, Blaine as Billy, I'd of been pissed as hell, especially when Santana could be Velma, Artie would have been a killer Amos and Kudt could have slayed Billy

[@aratrikaroy8284]

To be honest, I somehow feel that even if Glee had done a tribute to Chicago, I doubt whether they woukd have been able to do justice to it. I mean, have you seen their cover of the cell block tango? I'm not saying it's bad, but somehow it's hard to watch it after seeing the original one. These were just my opinion and I do not wish to offend anyone.

[@agenttheater5]

To be frank I was a little disappointed with Kurts version of 'Mr Cellophane' - I know he can give the feelings required for that song, but all he gave us was a comparatively flashy version to show off his vocal skills (though they were impressive).

[@JoshuaPers]

Race!? Being Latinamerican is not a race! In the US you think we are all Mexicans!

[@FloreMar-yp3iz]

@@JoshuaPers JJAJAJAJAJJAKAJA Calm down bro. I'm an Uruguayan and I don't even bother at that :v. They think ginger people are a race, let them be.

Kurt and Quinn are fabulous friends oml they should've been besties they'd be fucking sassy and fabulous as fuck

[@sabrinab7974]

We love Lea’s attempt at a cartwheel

[@jesuschrist8178]

After they shot the screen in the back, it should have changed so it said GLEE in big letters like in the movie Chicago how it said Velma and Roxie

[@angeldobbs5100]

Jesus Christ agreed

[@ginnyclarke5704]

Yes or Rachel and Holly

[@Firegirl483]

Their voices are literally so good together and I can't stand it. I need more duets from these two

[@ickygamerboy8267]

i dont understand how they have enough money for a bus with a handicap attachment but they have enough money to build this entire set and get costumes just for an assignment

[@khloe1414]

oof nyla I think that the performance is them imaging what it would look like on stage that’s why they always cut between the glee class room and the stage but just my perspective

[@jas1533]

they sound so good together

[@heathermontoyareactions1024]

I loved everybody reaction once rachel removed that robe. It like they knew her only one way, but if you freeze at 0:56. You can see pucks reaction. Along with santana and mercedes. But pucks is the best because it is in facial expression "damn I didn't know this side of her. I love her more." But everybody else's was like who is this. We approve.

[@juliawheildon4186]

Cory looks cute here and cheering Rachel was so adorable

[@ppmontegue]

One of my all time favorites

[@maddyzinger6658]

For all of you complaining about this and saying that the original was better, we already know so stop. Obviously the original was better because this was just a cover and in Glee they do the best they can but they never try to be "better" then the original because they already know that they aren't, and the whole cast will admit it. These performances are just for fun and for the show.

[@maddyzinger6658]

And to be honest it was pretty good. I've seen worse covers.

[@aratrikaroy8284]

[@GIguy]

Funny, what they used to call so sinful, is now so quaint and tame by today standards. I absolutely adore that time period, there was so much elegance, everyone used to dress so nice, and treat each other like human beings, it just astounds me how fast our society has done a complete 180, where profanity and vulgarity or a part of every day life, I can imagine what someone from that generation would think about us! The culture back then was so restrained, yet at the same time, the subculture is the basis for all modern music, and the basis of most rebellion movements of every kind. We owe a lot to the people of that generation! And though it was way before my time, having been born in 1968, there’s just something about that era I just absolutely love, if you get the chance, try to watch some of the movies, and study the media and societal norms from that era, and you’ll be absolutely floored at how different it was back then. Censorship was quite harsh in those days, but on the flipside, it was so nice to see people actually get dressed up just to go downtown, or just to go to the grocery store, and even if it was false modesty, it was probably pretty nice to not face the kind of people that currently corrupt our culture, and set the new cultural norms. It’s just human nature, but I have to admit, I don’t like the direction we are currently going towards, but I suppose everyone has said that of every generation, because it’s also very human to dislike and/or fear what we don’t truly understand. But I have to say, for a modern show like Glee, they did a great job of taking us back to Chicago in the days of jazz and liquor!

[@scribblekitty6693]

At 1:08-1:10, Kurt is so cute; it’s similar to how Zach Woodley looks when he is laughing-makes me wonder if it is intentional that Chris is imitating Zach for fun. (And Quinn holding onto him is adorable also)!!!

I think the friendship is more nuanced than that , like yeah they all find her annoying but they still support her. It’s like that with the whole club , everyone could hate each other and still sing along or join someone’s performance

[@roxanajohnson2789]

Weeb it is pretty close to the original song. So you’re Going to have to take it up with Chicago, not them.

I thought I was the only lol they can’t dance. I would’ve loved to see Britney and maybe Mike in drag have this one

it’s the original fosse choreography but definitely not the style of choreo lea is used to, and i don’t think gwyneth is even a dancer at all. fosse is very difficult for beginners so not sure why they kept the original lol
