I Am Zany For Glee

Matthew Morrison in South Pacific on Broadway:

So, the Husband turns to me after the first half hour of Glee & says- “you have a big old crush on the actor playing Will, doncha? I feel a blog post about this in your future.” Well, that is true & here is the post.



The 2nd Glee episode did not disappoint. Smart writing & great acting, Jane Lynch doing anything, crazy fun musical numbers (Kanye West’s Goldigger!) & my new crush- Matthew Morrison. This show is Freaks & Geeks + High School Musical = excellent, original TV. Glee is my new favorite show & along with So you Think You Can Dance, it makes Wednesday the best night for television viewing.


Matthew Morrison has starred on Broadway as Link Larkin in Hairspray, was Tony nominated for his role as Frabrizio in the wonderful- The Light In The Piazza ( oh, how I love that musical) & on TV as Sir Harry (a role I played in college) in Once Upon A Mattress with Tracey Ullman & Carol Burnett. He just finished a long run as Lt. Cable in South Pacific on Broadway.


I think Morrison is particularly valuable as Will in Glee because his good looks are slightly off-kilter & goofy. I would really like to show my appreciation for his performance as the teacher trying to bring the Glee Club at McKinley High School back to its former glory. Yummm.



Terri to Will, while touring a pretty pink nursery in a potential house to buy-
“This is the room where our daughter or gay son will sleep”

Caught throwing up in a bathroom stall-
Rachel: “I don’t have a gag reflex”.
Emma: “Someday when you’re older, you’ll appreciate that.”
