SOUND OFF: GLEE Goes Back To School

GLEE is back! With a bevy of big Broadway anthems in tow - including HAIRSPRAY'S "You Can't Stop The Beat", ANNIE GET YOUR GUN'S "Anything You Can Do", the Barbra Streisand version of "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" from THE WIZARD OF OZ by Harold Arlen, and, a song culled from a show currently in a hit revival playing eight times a week on Broadway, Cole Porter's title song from ANYTHING GOES - last night's GLEE was a Broadway baby's perfect first day back to school. If all of that wasn't enough, Darren Criss even got a chance to tear up a jive-talkin' Tom Jones hit, "It's Not Unusual"! The musical quotient was exceedingly satisfying, without a doubt, yet what about the rest of the night's proceedings? Will Season Three and the final season for a handful of New Directions' best assets - and two of the show's finest performers, Lea Michele and Chris Colfer - spell disaster come this time next Fall? What do Ryan Murphy and co. have up their sleeves to satiate the situation and appease the fans, and, furthermore, will they make right on their promise to bring the main players into even sharper focus this season? While we still have more than twenty episodes to find out, the kick-off episode, "The Purple Piano Project", came through in a rainbow of colors on its promise. The long-awaited return of Idina Menzel as Rachel Berry's absentee mom next week, in a season-long arc, will only up the ante and make GLEE an even more winning bet than it already is, even just judging from the fun and touching premiere ep!
