In Glee, high school Spanish teacher Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) renews his own passion for music by starting up a glee club composed of talented misfits. His star pupils turn out to be a pitch-perfect but unpopular overachiever Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), a well-rounded jock whose friends practically disown him for putting singing before sports. Other glee club members such as Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer), Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), Artie Abrams (Kevin McHale), and Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) also add their talents to the group. Will is committed to the club, but his home life (early in the series), with an overbearing wife (Jessalyn Gilsig) and spats with cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), isn't as fulfilling. As the series progresses, the glee club faces pregnancy, love, first-time sexual encounters, and even death -- and express much of their thoughts about all of it with song-and-dance numbers.
