ON THE HEELS OF THEIR SOLD-OUT TOUR LAST MAY, THE CAST OF FOX'S SMASH SHOW "GLEE" CROSSES THE ATLANTIC FOR AN EXCLUSIVE EUROPEAN ENGAGEMENT AT LONDON AND DUBLIN'S O2 ARENAS AND MANCHESTER'S MEN ARENA JUNE 22- JULY 3

Special Presale To American Express Cardmembers Starts November 22; Tickets Go On Sale To General Public Friday, November 26

After mounting a live stage concert event that played to sold out crowds and great acclaim in four American cities last year, Twentieth Century Fox Television and "Glee" co-creator Ryan Murphy are proud to announce the "Glee" cast will travel to Europe to perform on the arena stages of London, Manchester and Dublin this June.

Beginning Wednesday, June 22 at Manchester, England's MEN area, "Glee" stars Lea Michele (Rachel), Cory Monteith (Finn), Amber Riley (Mercedes), Chris Colfer (Kurt), Kevin McHale (Artie), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina), Mark Salling (Puck), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Naya Rivera (Santana), Heather Morris (Brittany), Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike), Chord Overstreet (Sam) and Darren Criss (Blaine) will perform in an all-new singing and dancing celebration of the Emmy and Golden Globe Award winning show.

The European exclusive engagement of "Glee Live! In Concert!," is a unique concert experience once again conceived by Murphy that will include live performances of some of the show's most memorable musical numbers from seasons one and two including "Empire State of Mind," "Toxic, " "My Life Would Suck Without You," "It's My Life," and of course, the show's anthem, "Don't Stop Believin'," Described by the Los Angeles Times as "triumphant," USA Today called last year's concerts "equal parts musical theater, giddy pop culture phenomenon and Journey-loving rock show."

Said Murphy, "We had such a great time putting together last year's shows and the response from the fans was incredible. People around the world want to see our cast live and in person, so this European tour is our way of thanking them for the unbelievable way they've embraced our little show. And for everyone in America who has asked if we'll be back to a city near them this summer, stay tuned. We'll have some exciting news very soon."

"I loved performing for the fans in Los Angeles, Chicago, Phoenix and New York last year and didn't think there was any way to top that experience, commented Riley. "But performing in the great arenas of London, Manchester and Dublin? How cool is that? We cannot wait." Added Monteith, "We had so much fun on tour last year that we were all itching to do it again. The fact that we're going to Europe to perform for thousands of people is mind blowing. This show has been quite a ride."
