Photo Flash: GLEE Films in NYC!

As previously reported by BroadwayWorld, GLEE's New Directions are heading to New York City in the season two finale, and filming has already begun! The GLEE ladies were spotted performing on the TKTS stairs in Times Square today, and pink signs have been posted in other locations, including Lincoln Center, where additional scenes will be filmed.

In the episode, the glee club will compete with Vocal Adrenaline (lead by Broadway veterans Jonathan Groff as Jesse St. James and Cheyenne Jackson as Dustin Goolsby) and the Warblers (headed by Darren Criss as Blaine) at Nationals.
