While Morrison may be brushing up on his curling skills, Michele (a Drama Desk nominee for Spring Awakening) and the other young stars of “Glee” appear set to get a special live performance experience soon. According to ew.com, First Lady Michelle Obama has asked the show’s choir to perform at the White House April 5 as part of the annual Easter Egg Roll.
According to ew.com reporter Michael Ausiello, “Rumor has it Mrs. O. and her daughters are big fans of the show. And since a White House gig is an offer that’s pretty darn hard to refuse, 'Glee'’s producers did some lickety-split schedule rejiggering in order to honor the request.”
Ausiello also notes that the show’s first album of music, “Glee: The Music Vol. 1,” is currently No. 1 on the British charts. A great week for “Glee,” indeed.
