Imagine yourself immersed in a sea of 20,500 screaming teen girls, barf bags in hand. That was the scene at the Q last night for a sold-out performance of Glee Live! (the barf bags were courtesy of Glee character Sue Sylvester).
The show started with fireworks, smoke, and ringing ears set to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.” The stage looked a lot like the TV show — elaborate lights, pyrotechnics, swing dancing — as the cast roamed through the audience. Clips from the series reminded you where this all came from.
Songs from both seasons were performed. Highlights included Mercedes’ rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “Ain’t No Way” and the original song “Loser Like Me.”
