‘Glee’ season 4 song spoilers: Hear Naya Rivera, Lea Michele, more ‘At the Ballet’
In just two days, we are going to have an opportunity to see the return of Sarah Jessica Parker on “Glee” as Isabelle Wright, the Vogue.com editor that Kurt spent quite a bit of time working under earlier on this season.
As for the reason why she is back on the show now, it seems to be twofold: She will help to wrap up her storyline with Chris Colfer’s character, and she will call on his help in part with some sort of event she is holding. Ultimately, this seems to bleed into the performance of “At the Ballet” from “A Chorus Line.”
We know that Broadway numbers don’t necessarily appeal to all viewers of “Glee,” which means that there are some that may find this performance to be rather dull. However, this is one of those full stage numbers that we actually find to be thoroughly engaging in the context of the show, and we wonder just how the editors are going to cut this down while having the story of the song work. Colfer, Lea Michele (Rachel), Parker, and Naya Rivera (Santana) all have opportunities to have their voices heard in here, which is a good thing since this is the only musical number from this group this week. Over the past few weeks attention has shifted more to McKinley High, and it appears to be staying that way for the time being. As for whether or not the balance will be different in the finale, that is an entirely different story.

Do you say when they do yet another basic cover of the new new direction running in circles how some viewers may be bored?
Tough luck if viewers can’t appreciate a good song and good singers simply cause it is a show tune.
This is song is ok but tbh it would have been better for Lea to have more, her vocie is perfect for the song. Don’t get me wrong Naya and SJP did fine but Lea would have owed it.

Same old, same old. The show is just so boring and disjointed now, there’s just no enjoyment in watching. To reduce the risk of falling asleep during the show, I’ve tried recording it and either (1) zipping through the music numbers to see if there’s any plot or (2) zipping through everything but the music numbers. Nothing seems to help.
