The show’s appeal is widespread, because so are its characters’ fantasies: that when they put their minds, voices and feet to it, they can slough off their awkwardness and shine like the gaudiest stars. Left, Chris Colfer plays Kurt Hummel, a gay student in the fictional Ohio high-school glee club.
Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) gets a touch up before dancing and singing to Britney Spears's "Toxic." Spears will have a guest appearance in one of the new season's episodes. Her video oeuvre will also be well represented, as the "Glee" club poses and preens in sequences taken from Britney’s greatest hits.
