'''Glee Live! In Concert!''' was a 2010—2011 concert tour performed in-character by members of the cast of the popular television series ''Glee''. The tour, created by series creator Ryan Murphy, was designed to build on the overwhelming response to the series, with Murphy stating that the series' soundtrack and concerts were an additional revenue stream from the series.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/can_stop_the_music_TJlO6MFZUd4W1jAeL7Ph6O|title=Can't stop the music|last=Albiniak|first=Paige|date=21 September 2009|work=New York Post|access-date=16 May 2010}}</ref> The tour, which played in North America, the United Kingdom and Ireland, received positive responses from both music critics and fans of the series. The first North American leg of the tour in May 2010 played ten shows, in four cities, seen by over 70,000 spectators, generating over five million dollars in ticket sales and ranking ninth on the ''Billboard'' Hot Tours list.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/photos/live/957828/hot-tours-depeche-mode-metallica-glee|title=Hot Tours: Depeche Mode, Metallica, 'Glee'|last=Allen|first=Bob|date=June 10, 2010|magazine=Billboard|access-date=June 13, 2010}}</ref> The 2011 tour was seen by an audience of over 485,000 and placed sixteenth on ''Billboard''{{'s}} annual Top 25 Tours list, earning over $40 million from 31 shows, played in 21 cities.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/42159/top-25-tours-of-2011 |title=Top 25 Tours of 2011 |date=8 December 2011 |magazine=Billboard |access-date=27 December 2011|archive-url=http://www.freezepage.com/1324984111AELBCMOXWV?url=http://www.billboard.com/features/top-25-tours-of-2011-1005641362.story%23/features/top-25-tours-of-2011-1005641362.story |archive-date=27 December 2011}}</ref>

Initially, the cast of the series performed a small promotional tour ("The Gleek Tour") at various Hot Topic stores in the U.S. to showcase the series' soundtrack and to meet with fans of the show.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/news/e3ie06621b2660686509e967e9ce845a9ae|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121004053136/http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/industry/news/e3ie06621b2660686509e967e9ce845a9ae|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 4, 2012|title='Glee' Cast Hits The Road With 'The Gleek Tour'|date=31 July 2009|access-date=20 January 2011|author=Berens, Caitlin|magazine=Billboard}}</ref> This was followed with a performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Citizens Bank Park for the 2009 World Series.

Her comments were later shared by Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) stating, "This show has changed my life in so many ways. If you had told me a year ago that I’d be performing classic rock songs in concert theaters around the country, I would never have believed you. We are psyched!". The tour performed over a dozen sell-out shows in the United States.

Special appearances were made by Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) and Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester) for a performance at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City.<ref name="EM"/><ref name="JP"/> Jonathan Groff (Jesse St. James) performed along with Michele at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles and at the Radio City Music Hall in New York City, New York.<ref>[http://www.broadway.com/buzz/152486/in-glees-la-concert-lea-michele-says-hello-to-jonathan-groff/ In ''Glee''’s L.A.

As the series entered its second season, Fox announced an additional tour leg in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Murphy responds that the show in the U.S. saw an amazing response and the tour extension was to thank the fans overseas for their dedication to the series and promised an additional North American tour in the summer of 2011.<ref name="ukdate">{{Cite press release|url=http://www.foxflash.com/div.php/main/page?aID=1z2z2z268z7z8&ID=7268|title=London calling!: Glee Live!

But performing in the great arenas of London, Manchester and Dublin? How cool is that? We cannot wait." Joining the tour extension are new cast members Chord Overstreet (Sam Evans), Ashley Fink (Lauren Zizes) and Darren Criss (Blaine Anderson).

===2010=== thumb|150px|right|Michele performing "Somebody to Love" on the tour. The concerts began with a pre-recorded greeting from Jane Lynch as cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, insulting both audience members and the forthcoming performances.<ref name="EM"/><ref name="AK"/> Cast members all performed in character, including able-bodied actor Kevin McHale appearing in a wheelchair as glee club member Artie Abrams who had a disability.<ref name="EM"/> As in the show, for the performance of "Jump" the stage was filled with mattresses and the cast wore matching pajamas, while an Escalade was used as a prop for the performance of "Bust Your Windows". Cory Monteith, performing as drum-playing football quarterback Finn Hudson, played the drums as backing for "Sweet Caroline", and several cast members wore Lady Gaga costumes for the performance of "Bad Romance".<ref name="EM"/> “Halo/Walking On Sunshine” was also performed with female members of New Directions wearing their iconic yellow dresses. Dancers appeared as rival glee club ''Vocal Adrenaline'', for a masked dance routine of "Rehab" and "Mercy", with no singing involved.<ref name="AK"/> The main setlist concluded with a performance of "Like a Prayer", including backing singers dressed in choir robes, while the encore consisted of "True Colors" and "Somebody to Love".<ref name="EM"/>

===2011=== After a 20-minute support set from The Legion of Extraordinary Dancers and the handing out of "Sue's Barf Bags", the main show opened with a pre-recorded video from Sue and Mr. Schuester that introduced the New Directions. The cast members were all in character, and again began their setlist with a performance of "Don't Stop Believin'{{-"}} with the whole cast on stage. Tina and Mercedes then took the lead vocals in a performance of "Dog Days Are Over", and Rachel and Finn took the leads in "Sing", with the full cast remaining on stage for both songs. There were then smaller group/solo performances, including "Fat Bottomed Girls" by Puck which began with the first venture onto the second stage at the back of the arena with Finn accompanying on the drum-kit, and a lip-synced performance of "I'm a Slave 4 U" from Brittany.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/glee-live-concert-review-show-193400|title='Glee!

This conversation was mostly drowned out by laughter from the crowd.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ew.com/article/2011/06/20/glee-live-concert-2011/|title='Glee' Live 2011: The shrieks shall inherit|website=EW.com|language=en|access-date=2019-11-15}}</ref>

The whole cast then came back together to perform "Born This Way", including all their original episode T-shirts (a number of which were also made for sale at the merchandising stalls). Rachel then performed "Firework", before a video interlude from Sue introduced the Warblers, who began a three-song set with "Teenage Dream" on the second stage. The setting of the New Directions' choir practice room was then projected onto the stage and the show took on the typical feel of an episode with various characters performing as their accomplices sat/stood around and watched. Brittany appeared on-stage to begin a skit with Blaine and later Kurt, which led into a performance of "Jessie's Girl" by Finn. The last number of the main set was a whole-cast performance of original song "Loser Like Me".<ref name="OC" /> After a short interval, Kurt appeared unannounced with Brittany, Tina and a number of other dancers on the second stage and performed a short version of their dance to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" as seen in the first season, although the original vocals were kept. Artie then performed "The Safety Dance". The whole cast returned to the main stage for the last two numbers of the night, "Empire State of Mind" and, as was the case in the 2010 tour, "Somebody to Love".<ref name="OC" />

==Critical reception== Ed Masley for ''USA Today'' described the opening concert as "equal parts musical theater, giddy pop culture phenomenon and Journey-loving rock show". He felt that Riley was the strongest performer, praising her renditions of "Bust Your Windows" and "Beautiful", and preferred the more "wholesome" songs, opining that: "The raps and overt sexuality on Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" felt a little forced and out of character, especially sandwiched between "My Life Would Suck Without You" and "Don't Rain on My Parade"."<ref name="EM"/> Amanda Kwan of The Associated Press was critical of the tour, deeming the debut concert "an evening that only a fan would appreciate" and "a glorified high school talent show". Kwan felt that the setlist was "disjointed", and noted that the cast slipped confusingly in and out of character throughout the concert.<ref name="AK">{{cite web|url=http://new.music.yahoo.com/glee-cast/news/national-glee-tour-takes-show-to-its-gleeks--61999603|title=National 'Glee' tour takes show to its Gleeks|last=Kwan|first=Amanda|date=May 16, 2010|agency=Associated Press|access-date=February 2, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100624133923/http://new.music.yahoo.com/glee-cast/news/national-glee-tour-takes-show-to-its-gleeks--61999603|archive-date=June 24, 2010}}</ref> Martin Cizmar of the ''Phoenix New Times'' deemed the concert over-sanitized, criticizing the decision to change the "Bad Romance" lyric "I'm a free bitch, baby" to "I'm a freak, baby."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2010/05/glee_at_dodge_theatre.php|title=Glee at Dodge Theatre|first=Martin|last=Cizmar|work=Phoenix New Times|date=May 16, 2010|access-date=May 17, 2010|archive-date=October 4, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004134919/http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/uponsun/2010/05/glee_at_dodge_theatre.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Four-city tour will likely rake in the cash and merit a reprise, but whether it deserves it is a different matter." Though he did, again, note Riley's "solid" performances and calling Lea Michele "the most obvious pro" claiming her songs were performed "with power and presence".

==Opening act== The opening act for the US leg of tour was the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (LXD), the dance project of cast member Harry Shum Jr. He described it as being like "worlds colliding", explaining to the ''New York Post'' that in the run-up to the tour, he was rehearsing with the cast, then practicing with LXD until midnight, working closely with the group's choreographer Christopher Scott. He commented: "I think [Glee and LXD] go hand-in-hand in terms of creating art. That's what's so great about them choosing LXD. They could have had an opening band but I think it's going to be a much different show having elements of LXD in it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/harry_shum_jr_w0uyaLEV4ymnMVFmWO79YJ|title=Harry Shum Jr: I love that people see dancers as artists now|last=Wieselman|first=Jarett|date=11 May 2010|work=New York Post|access-date=16 May 2010|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100515042502/http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/popwrap/harry_shum_jr_w0uyaLEV4ymnMVFmWO79YJ|archive-date=15 May 2010}}</ref>
