Entering its second season, GLEE is a biting musical comedy that has quickly become a pop-culture phenomenon. The highest-rated new scripted series of the 2009-2010 season boasts critical acclaim, a loyal fan base of “GLEEks,” two certified Gold albums, more than 10 million song downloads and an incredible 19 Emmy nominations – earning it the distinction of being the most-nominated series of the year. Additionally, the cast of GLEE has been nominated for a total of 13 TEEN CHOICE Awards.
GLEE follows a group of eager and ambitious students as they strive to outshine their singing competition to win Nationals while navigating the cruel halls of McKinley High. Although New Directions lost at Regionals, they now have their sights set on making it to Nationals and defeating their arch rivals, Vocal Adrenaline.
Chris Colfer plays “Kurt Hummel,” the baby-faced soprano with a fierce eye for fashion; Kevin McHale portrays “Artie Abrams,” a physically disabled performer with killer vocals and a dream to dance; Cory Monteith is “Finn Hudson,” the heartbreakingly cool quarterback who struggles with his personal life; and Mark Salling plays the arrogant and cocky crooner “Noah ‘Puck’ Puckerman.”
TEEN CHOICE 2010 is executive-produced by Bob Bain and Michael Burg. Paul Flattery and Kelly Brock serve as producers, and Greg Sills serves as supervising producer.
