The Glee Club to Stage Pipeline

Jonathan Groff has spent the better part of a year splishing and splashing through Just In Time with the kind of effortless charisma that Jesse St. James could only dream of. As his Tony-nominated run comes to a close on March 29, his former Glee costar Matthew Morrison steps in as Bobby Darin. The fearless leader of the New Directions takes the stage for three weeks only, April 1–19, swapping his sweater vests for a tuxedo.

In Glee, Kevin McHale was a scene stealer with soulful vocals and sharp comedic timing.

The show relies on quick-witted improv and a specific kind of underdog charm that feels like a natural evolution from his time at McKinley.

Telly Leung traded the Dalton Academy blazer for a Phantom mask — and it fits perfectly. In Masquerade, an immersive reimagining of Phantom of the Opera, he brings a refined vocal presence to one of musical theatre's most iconic roles. The music of the night has never sounded better.
