Glee is coming back this spring (Tuesday April 13th,) after it’s long hibernation and the Fox network’s breakout, buzzed about show has scored the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Matthew Morrison, Dianna Agron, Lea Michele, Jane Lynch and Cory Monteith are the chosen ones for the photo pep rally shot.
Glee creator Ryan Murphy, who previously helmed Nip/Tuck, explains the show’s double-edged appeal: “It’s about there being great joy to being different, and great pain.” Twenty-three-year-old Lea Michele, the Broadway talent who plays Rachel, tells Hedegaard about her tattoos, and Cory Monteith, who portrays jock Finn, owns up to a few childhood arrests for offenses that “didn’t hurt people.” Dianna Argon (slippery cheerleader Quinn) describes what it was like joining the cast late and falling victim to Monteith’s fart pranks, and 19-year-old Chris Colfer, who bravely plays gay teen Kurt, opens up about his own painful youth and his never-changing voice. “You know that forget-and-forgive bullshit? No, no, no, no, not for me,” he says of channeling childhood traumas into creative energy. “You take that grudge and let that grudge fester, and then you use it.”
The cast has an amazing month ahead of them: the Obama White House has invited the actors for the annual Easter Egg roll on the front lawn, there is the upcoming Madonna episode and the Oprah interview.
Why did the programmers have to put it on opposite LOST? As much as I love Glee - LOST’s final season wins out.
