‘Glee’ Stars Stage Broadway Mini-Reunion As Hulu Reboot Gears Up

Broadway’s The Rocky Horror Show was the setting for a Glee mini-reunion last night, as Lea Michele, Jenna Ushkowitz and Becca Tobin showed up to catch the show now starring their former castmate Kevin McHale.

In a short video clip posted on the Rocky Horror Instagram page, the four Glee stars gather backstage and lip-sync to their old show’s line “You’re all minorities. You’re in the glee club.” (Check out the video below.)

The get-together arrived amidst lots of online chatter about the possibility of the original gang’s participation in Ryan Murphy’s Glee reboot ordered to series by Disney+ and Hulu last month. Murphy has said that as many as 10 original cast members have been approached to participate. Chris Colfer, who played Kurt Hummel on the original Fox series, said recently he’s had a “nice conversation” about his potential return.

Michele is in talks to reprise her Rachel Berry character in the reboot, Deadline recently confirmed, and Tobin has discussed the possibility of her character Kitty Wilde taking part. Deadline has confirmed that Glee cast members Heather Morris, who played cheerleader Brittany, and Chord Overstreet, who played Sam Evans, also are in talks for the reboot.

McHale is making his Broadway debut as Rocky Horror‘s Brad – he took over the role August 25 from original cast member Andrew Durand – and has dedicated his performance to Glee‘s Cory Monteith, who died of an accidental overdose in 2013. In his Playbill bio, McHale writes, “For Cory. His Forever Brad,” a reference to a Glee episode in which the students staged Rocky Horror with Monteith’s Finn playing the role of Brad. (On Glee, McHale was the Rocky Horror Narrator, the role currently being played on Broadway by Margaret Cho.)

Here is the Instagram clip posted on the IG pages of Ushkowitz, McHale and Rocky Horror.
