Gleeking Out

That's it! I can't hide it anymore. I am a total Gleek! I LOVE the tv show Glee and was silmutaneously sad and ecstatic to to watch the fall finale this past Wednesday (if you missed it, check it out here on Hulu). For those of you unfamiliar with the show, Glee is about a high school glee club (a.k.a. show choir) and its quirky members. It features choreographed musical numbers and is laugh-out-loud funny. I heard the best definition of the show during an interview with the cast members. They said Glee is High School Musical, after you kick it in the stomach and steal its lunch money. If you're like me and you're going to be experiencing Glee withdrawal until new episodes return next spring, then you'll need something to get you through those dark and glee-less nights. Below is a short list of movies to try if you love Glee as much as I do. Check them out at the Library and don't forget to share your favorites here too!
