The much-anticipated concert tour of Fox’s Glee will play at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles on May 20 and 21, organizers said Monday. Most of the cast members from the hit television show have signed on to appear in the stage production, including Broadway star Lea Michele, who plays the overly eager high school student Rachel Berry.
Other cast members who are scheduled to appear on stage include Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Cory Monteith, Heather Morris, Amber Riley, Naya Rivera, Mark Salling, Harry Shum, Jr., Dijon Talton and Jenna Ushkowitz.
Glee’ Live! In Concert! will kick off its four-city tour May 18 in Phoenix, at the Dodge Theatre. It then moves to the Gibson at Universal City for two performances (May 20 and 21) followed by two nights at the Rosemont Theatre near Chicago on May 25 and 26. The tour ends at New York’s Radio City Music Hall for two performances on May 28 and 29.
Ryan Murphy, who created the TV series, also organized the stage production, which will feature musical numbers from the show including “Sweet Caroline,” “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Somebody to Love.”
In a statement, Murphy said that fans’ response “to our little show has been so immediate and so gratifying, we wanted to get out and thank them live and in person.”
Tickets for the Glee concert tour will be on sale via Ticketmaster. So far, looks like only the L.A. and Chicago shows have presale information available: American Express card holders may buy tickets March 5-12, while the general public on-sale is set for March 13. Tickets range from $39.50 to $79.50.
