‘Glee’ returns to the concert stage in 16-city North American tour

"Glee"

On the heels of a successful tour run last year, 13 cast members from “Glee” will be taking to stages across America starting in May.

Glee Live! In Concert! will feature Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Chris Colfer (Kurt), Kevin McHale (Artie), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Mark Salling (Puck), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Naya Rivera (Santana), Heather Morris (Brittany), Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike), Chord Overstreet (Sam) and Darren Criss (Blaine).

A couple notable absences are Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester) and, of course, Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester). Shum, Criss and Overstreet are the relative newcomers to the batch.

The stint kicks off on May 21 at the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas and continues through June 18. Tickets go up for an American Express pre-sale on Feb. 11 while general sale begins Feb. 19.

The show will include live takes on songs from seasons 1 and 2 of the hit FOX show, including “Empire State of Mind,” “Toxic,” “My Life Would Suck Without You,” “It’s My Life,” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.”
