What ‘Glee’ Really Needs

More Musicals. We’re seven episodes into the season and I’ve been watching the viewership on my best friend, Wikipedia’s site. And what I’ve noticed is that the episodes in which the show returns to its roots of Broadway and Sue Sylvester-related humor are where it does the best.

Case and point? I want more Broadway in Glee. The only memorable instances where White-Way classics took center auditorium stage were in “The Rhodes Not Taken” (with guest appearance by Kristen Chenoweth) and in the Pilot (a short homage to “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ The Boat).

But am I a sinner to say that the fan basis of this show is comprised mainly of musical theater and Broadway buffs like yours truly? It’s a big audience. Don’t underestimate it. We will belt in your face. For those of you who don’t know what that means, here’s a good resource—search “belting”…there are 16 instances of it.

So, to the creators of Glee: remember this timeless mantra: Liza, Judy, Barbra, Bette, these are names you shan’t forget.
