¿De quién es la película The Young Victoria?
Creado conjuntamente por los productores Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk e Ian Brennan, Glee se centró en las tribulaciones de un club glee (técnicamente un coro de espectáculos) en la ficticia escuela secundaria William McKinley en Lima, Ohio. El coro, llamado New Directions, está dirigido por Will Schuester (interpretado por Matthew Morrison), un joven maestro agradable que se hace cargo del grupo después de que su anterior director es despedido. Al comienzo de la serie, sus miembros incluían a la talentosa pero engreída Rachel Berry (Lea Michele); el elegante Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer), que es gay; Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), una niña afroamericana con una voz poderosa; y Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale), un parapléjico dulcemente modesto. A pesar de su reputación generalmente impopular en la escuela, New Directions pronto logró atraer a otros estudiantes, como Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith),el mariscal de campo estrella del equipo de fútbol, y Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron), la cabeza del equipo de porristas.
Many of the show’s plotlines stemmed from the often volatile relationships between the club’s members, as well as from Will’s efforts to motivate the students in a series of competitions against rival choirs. (By the end of the third season, the club had performed well enough to win the national show-choir finals.) Will’s personal life also fueled the ongoing narrative. While undergoing a divorce, he navigated a relationship with a school guidance counselor, Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays), that, although frequently thwarted, eventually led to their marriage. Throughout the series, comic relief was provided by the megalomaniacal, acid-tongued cheerleading coach (and, later, school principal) Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), who pursues numerous routes of sabotaging Will and the choir. By the fourth season of Glee, several New Directions members had graduated from McKinley High, and the show followed their lives beyond Lima while continuing to integrate new characters into the cast.
Perhaps the defining characteristic of Glee, however—and for many viewers the central appeal of the show—was the fact that each episode interwove several songs performed by the cast. While scripted musical series had been attempted on television before, none experienced the critical and popular success of Glee. Nearly all the songs in Glee were cover versions of familiar recordings and were drawn from a range of musical styles, from Broadway show tunes to classic rock standards and contemporary pop hits. Accordingly, each episode typically featured a diverse set of music, though some were devoted to a single artist, such as Madonna or Britney Spears. Beginning in the show’s first season, individual songs from each episode were made available for purchase at the iTunes Store the same week the episode aired. This promotional strategy reaped considerable benefits, as millions of digital songs were sold, and, in the process, dozens of singles credited to the cast landed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Although few remained for longer than a week, in 2011 the Glee cast broke Elvis Presley’s record of 108 total entries on the chart. Additionally, several traditional sound track albums were released.
During its run, Glee won numerous awards, including the Golden Globe Award for best television comedy or musical series for each of its first two seasons. The show extended its brand with The Glee Project (2011–12), a reality television program that served as an audition for a recurring role in the series, and the theatrical film Glee: The 3D Concert Movie (2011), which documented a live concert tour featuring members of the Glee cast.
