Amazing cast of Glee

Say what you will about the television show, Ryan Murphy's teen brainchild, they certainly have been a hotbed of amazing talent over the last 5 seasons. The show continues to grapple with midlife as some tangents have taken turns that often disappoint. But who could not say that of many long runs? What is a ploy to explore new directions (pardon the pun) and what is a miscalculated risk? I honestly think the current season 5 is doing quite well in spite of the death of Cory Monteith and managing to stick to the younger members still in school and less on the drama of the NY graduates. The young cast members have just as much in terms of chops as the originals did - they should be allowed to fly. The offshoot of The Glee Project injected honest and heartfelt pathos into the world of reality TV as well and its winners have held their own in the hierarchy.

Each cast member has had their own strengths that evolved over the years. Surprises as supporting roles emerged as front runners with Heather Morris, Naya Rivera & Alex Newell. Broadway chestnuts occasionally are featured that often rival the original recordings (yes Barbra's "Being Good" sung by Lea Michele.) All are fierce actors first which is a key element. All this leads to this incredible new video posted by Harry Shum Jr. Harry emerged from chorus boy in the line of the football team into an incredible presence. Here he has blossomed into a stunning performance artist using his gifts of dance as he interprets what it was for him to be shy and how his dance has become his outlet. A powerful message in all its color as narrated by Ze Frank.
