That was the song Jayma auditioned for Glee with.

I knew that. And I was saying, "please oh please oh please..." when I realized what Will was asking her.

I also knew that Chris Colfer begged to play Riff Raff because he has the best part and they took both his high notes and gave them to Brad?!!1!

And he was a great Riff Raff but they totally cut out the part.

It was a Brad and Janet production. So craven.

Did someone already point out how making Frank a woman removes all gay from the play?

I complained about that upthread.

I am so mad at that episode.

3 things.

1) I want a Sue-o-lantern.

2) Finn is an excellent Brad.

3) I want to be a peanut allergy for Halloween.

Okay, I confess: I turned Glee on about halfway through. And in reading people's comments here, I assume we're supposed to think glee-club teacher guy was being an inappropriate creep? Because, EW.

Also, John Stamos has aged very, VERY well. Sweet Jesus.

The kid who played Brad was cute and dead-on.

Still not the show for me, though, but I'm glad I caught the part of it that I did. (Seriously, why would a teacher ever think it's going to be cool for a high school in -- did they say *Ohio*??? -- to perform RHPS is beyond me.)

Well, if the high-school version would have been allowed to hew closely to the original RHPS (you know, not that they *could* in any universe where the school administration hopes to stay employed), Frank *does* hook up with Brad and Janet. So a female Frank hooking up with Janet qualifies as at least bisexual in my book.

But I get what you're saying. It's not gay for a female Frank to have built a Rocky.

I'm fairly certain that's not actually the case. Even more EW.

I think I said that wrong. What I meant was not whether the *show* wants the viewers to be skeeved out by creepy teacher guy, but whether the reaction that I (and several other people here) had was a not uncommon reaction.

Er, that is, I was afraid I was the only one going "Ew! Ack! Stop!" Whether the show wanted me to or not is irrelevant to my question. I just wondered if I was the only one, and I see that I wasn't.

I haven't seen the last 15 minutes, but if I may steal a line from A Chorus Line, the ep was "Dance 10, Book 3." Some brilliant musical numbers, especially by characters (Carl, Emma) that don't usually sing. And as much as a female Frank removes the gay, Mercedes slammed the lid down and nailed it on "Sweet Transvestite."

But the ep's story line seemed to shy away from the implications of RHPS. Inevitably, perhaps -- Glee is about nudging the envelope, not pushing it. And much of RHPS would never, never fly in a high school without, at a very minimum, substantial controversy. Much less tearing it to itty bitty pieces, like RHPS does. Still, the ep seems to become annoying every time the music stops.

2) Finn is an excellent Brad.

Agreed. I'm beginning to think his niche is the mainstream pop singer of the kind that disappeared with the '80s. Maybe Phil Collins, but more like Glenn Frey's solo career.
