Glee was a hit musical comedy series that ran on the Fox network from 2009 to 2015. The show explored issues of race, sexuality, and identity through the focal lens of a high school glee club. In its first season the? show was nominated for nineteen Emmy awards. This informative volume profiles the lives and careers of the cast as well as the show's creators and producers.
As USA TODAY, the Nation's No. 1 Newspaper, puts it about the television megahit Glee, "There have been few shows as rousing, promising, perplexing and potentially heartbreaking as this high school musical comedy....It's an outlandishly entertaining musical schoolhouse romp." Much of Glee's appeal comes from its cast of outsiders and misfits--singers and dancers almost as talented as the actors who play them. Viewers love Chris Colfer as the bullied gay Kurt Hummel, Amber Riley in the role of plus-size diva wannabe Mercedes Jones, Lea Michele's take on "Miss Perfect" Rachel Berry, Jane Lynch's unforgettable performances as nasty cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, and Mark Salling's bad boy image in the role of jock football player Noah "Puck" Puckerman. And that's only some of the Glee talent readers will get to know in this entertaining biography. From Broadway veterans to virtual unknowns, these gifted performers all have one thing in common. They worked tirelessly to achieve their goals and never, ever gave up on their dreams.

It was as if American television audiences discovered the musical in the early 21st century. In 2009 Glee took the Fox Network and American television by storm with the unexpected unification of primetime programming, awkward teens, and powerful voices spontaneously bursting into song. After raking in the highest rating for a new show in the 2009-2010 season, Glee would continue to cultivate rabid fans, tie-in soundtracks and merchandising, and a spinoff reality competition show until its conclusion in 2015. Alongside Glee, NBC and Fox would crank up musical visibility with the nighttime drama Smash and a string of live musical productions. Then came ABC's comedic fantasy musical series Galavant and the CW's surprise Golden Globe darling Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. Television and the musical appeared to be a perfect match. But, as author Kelly Kessler illustrates, television had at that point been carrying on a sixty-year, symbiotic love affair with the musical. From Rodgers and Hammerstein's appearance on the first Toast of the Town telecast and Mary Martin's iconic Peter Pan airings to Barbra Streisand's 1960s CBS specials, The Carol Burnett Show, Cop Rock, Great Performances, and a string of one-off musical episodes of sitcoms, nighttime soaps, fantasy shows, and soap operas, television has always embraced the musical. Kessler shows how the form is written across the history of American television and how its various incarnations tell the stories of shifting American culture and changing television, film, and theatrical landscapes. She recounts and explores this rich, decades-long history by traversing musicals, stars, and sounds from film, Broadway, and Las Vegas to the small screen.
Don't Stop Believin' by Erin Balser,Suzanne Gardner Pdf
"Don't Stop Believin' pays tribute to the glorious mash-up of music, comedy, drama and social commentary that has put Glee and its band of misfits in the spotlight"--Page 4 of cover
Funny and deeply personal, Sorry Not Sorry recounts Glee star Naya Rivera's successes and missteps, urging young women to pursue their dreams and to refuse to let past mistakes define them. Navigating through youth and young adulthood isn't easy, and in Sorry Not Sorry, Naya Rivera shows us that we're not alone in the highs, lows, and in-betweens. Whether it's with love and dating, career and ambition, friends, or gossip, Naya inspires us to follow our own destiny and step over--or plod through--all the crap along the way. After her rise and fall from early childhood stardom, barely eking her way through high school, a brief stint as a Hooters waitress, going through thick and thin with her mom/manager, and resurrecting her acting career as Santana Lopez on Glee, Naya emerged from these experiences with some key life lessons: Sorry: - All those times I scrawled "I HATE MY MOM" in my journal. So many moms and teenage daughters don't get along--we just have to realize it's nothing personal on either side. - At-home highlights and DIY hair extensions. Some things are best left to the experts, and hair dye is one of them. - Falling in love with the idea of a person, instead of the actual person. Not Sorry: - That I don't always get along with everyone. Having people not like you is a risk you have to take to be real, and I'll take that over being fake any day. - Laughing at the gossip instead of getting upset by it. - Getting my financial disasters out of the way early--before I was married or had a family--so that the only credit score that I wrecked was my own. Even with a successful career and a family that she loves more than anything else, Naya says, "There's still a thirteen-year-old girl inside of me making detailed lists of how I can improve, who's never sure of my own self-worth." Sorry Not Sorry is for that thirteen-year-old in all of us.

ABOUT THE BOOK The idea for Glee came to Ian Brennan in 2005. He was working as an actor in New York City (a literal dream-come-true for any Midwestern theater geek) and had a flashback to his days as a show choir performer back in Mount Prospect, Illinois. Inspired by these memories, the inexperienced writer composed a darkly funny screenplay about a high school glee club, queried the script, and, like many fledgling writers, met with plenty of rejection along the way. But when the script landed in the lap of Nip/Tuck producer Ryan Murphy - himself a former show choir singer from Indiana - the idea grew legs. Murphy suggested that he, Brennan, and fellow Nip/Tuck writer Brad Falchuk use the screenplay as a jumping-off point for a television series. Brennan agreed, and Glee premiered on the Fox network in spring of 2009 to immediate critical praise and ratings validation. Glee was a hit! In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Brennan discussed his Illinois roots and the inspiration for the show. He explained that there’s an obvious ridiculousness about show choir that’s comical. But there’s also a genuine desire to transcend ordinary life, to rise to stardom, that Brennan wanted to capture in his script. MEET THE AUTHOR Sarah Watson is a New England native living in Chicago. She holds a B.A. in English and philosophy, an M.A. in English education, and an Illinois teaching certificate, making her a certified word nerd. Tweet her @sarahkwatson11. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Viewers learn that most of William McKinley’s extracurricular budget goes to the school’s winning cheerleading squad, the Cheerios, coached by nefarious Sue Sylvester. The Cheerios are the stars of the school, having garnered national prestige by appearing on Fox Sports Net. Although Coach Sylvester is combative and unprofessional, she’s also the source of trophies, press, and money for the school, so she gets what she wants - even if that includes expensive nutritionists, choreographers, and European dry-cleaning for her cheerleaders. Although she won’t admit it, Sue feels threatened by Will and his glee aspirations. If glee is successful, it could take funding away from the Cheerios, potentially causing Sue to lose the awards and precarious status that give her fulfillment. Undaunted, Will holds auditions for the glee club and nets five eager students: Mercedes Jones, Kurt Hummel, Artie Abrams, Tina Cohen-Chang, and Rachel Barry. The rag-tag team includes a stuttering student, a wheelchair-bound performer, a flamboyantly gay outcast, and two overbearing divas, but Will intrepidly leads the glee club anyway - thanks in part to the encouragement of Emma Pillsbury, the school’s obsessive-compulsive guidance counselor who has eyes for the married Will...
