The producers of the hit show, GLEE, are searching high and low to fill the roles of high schools students for the upcoming season. Auditionees must be between the ages of 16-26 and submit a video to the GLEE AUDITIONS page on MySpace.
The first minute should be an intro, and the next four minutes should be you belting your heart out. Then upload the video to http://www.myspace.com/gleeauditions.
GLEE returns from hiatus tomorrow night, so get that video in for your chance to be in Season 2! Meanwhile, re-live Season 1 (and practice your GLEEk style) by getting the music of GLEE (click the pic to the left).

BLOG: Idina Menzel in Talks with GLEE (officially!)
by Trish Causey
Idina Menzel is in official talks with the powers-that-be over at GLEE, the television surprise hit about a less than gleeful band of misfits who solve teenage life's problems through singing. When the show began, fans immediately noticed the vocal and visage similarities between GLEE lead, Broadway's Lea Michele, and Broadway's reigning belting bonanza, Idina Menzel.
While the fan-generated buzz centered around Menzel playing Michele's mother, it seems the offer on the table has Menzel playing the teacher of a rival singing group, Vocal Adrenaline, at a national-level singing competition. With the central GLEE club (with Michele) heading toward Sectionals this week, the proposed nine-episode arc with Menzel could have them heading toward Nationals (which means we already know they'll win Sectionals -- bummer, all suspense is now suspended).
However, all is not lost in the sheer awesomeness department for Musical Theatre GLEEks everywhere. In fact, not having Menzel play the Mother would make for a more interesting dynamic between Menzel and Michele. A vocal battle between Idina and "Idina Jr." would be infinitely more entertaining (and skyrocket the ratings) as opposed to a Mother/Daughter storyline that might have been too sweet and sympatico for the two megaphone mouths. Imagine if Patti LuPone had gone toe to toe with Ethel Merman? Yes, this might be that big a deal.
Let the belting battle begin!
