Tonight's episode of FOX's hit musical dramedy series Glee is titled "Bash" and a First Look at an emotionally powerful new musical sequence set to Stephen Sondheim's classic "No One Is Alone" from INTO THE WOODS is now available to view.
Of particularly note, the episode includes a quartet of songs by the one and only original Broadway baby himself, Stephen Sondheim!
As originally exclusively revealed to me in our recent InDepth InterView last month, Michele confirmed that the INTO THE WOODS anthem "No One Is Alone" would be performed in the episode by herself along with Darren Criss and company, as well three more songs by master composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim.
Check out my InDepth InterView with Lea Michele all about GLEE, "No One Is Alone" and much more, available here.
Besides "No One Is Alone", other Sondheim gem will be presented on this week's Glee include "Broadway Baby" and "I'm Still Here" from FOLLIES as well as "Not While I'm Around" from SWEENEY TODD.
The official description of GLEE's "Bash" is as follows: "With opening night of Funny Girl rapidly approaching - and despite the producer's concerns - Rachel is granted one night off of rehearsals so she can complete her NYADA "Midwinter Critique" for the much feared and revered Carmen Tibideaux. When her performance doesn't go quite as planned, Rachel finds herself facing an important decision that pits her education against her career. After the close proximity of Sam and Mercedes' living arrangements leads to the seemingly inevitable hook-up, he tries once again to rekindle their romance. But Mercedes - despite her clear attraction to Sam - hesitates, worried about how dating (as one of her backup singers puts it) "a white, unemployed dude she met in her high school Glee Club" may adversely affect her public image and burgeoning recording career. Meanwhile, Kurt gets a harsh lesson in the difference between life in high school and in the real WORLD when he butts up against an all-too-familiar enemy, but he makes an important realization about himself in the process."
