New docuseries The Price of Glee contains a number of eye-opening claims, including that a cast member encouraged Cory Monteith’s relapse.
Will Schuester was a former student at William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio, and a member of the glee club in the '90s, when they took the National Championship title. Despite being a relatively young teacher, Mr. Schue is constantly teased for his devotion to disco and classic rock.
He is hesitant to allow the glee club to perform more contemporary or controversial numbers, despite the fact that he regularly pushes the boundaries of appropriate relationships between himself and his students, a fact many "Glee" fans have joked about. Prior to "Glee," Morrison had made a name for himself as a Broadway star, appearing in productions like "Hairspray" and "The Light in the Piazza," for which he received a Tony Award nomination in 2005.
He was so close in age to some of his "Glee" cast members that they had connections before appearing on the show together. Though he and Lea Michele previously denied rumors that they had dated before being cast as teacher and student, Michele confirmed in 2014 that she had in fact dated Morrison back in the day.
"When we shot the ['Glee'] pilot, I met Cory Monteith, Kevin McHale, Amber Riley, and Chris Colfer for the first time," Michele wrote in her memoir "Brunette Ambition," according to E! News. "I had worked on Broadway with Jenna Ushkowitz and Matthew Morrison before. Matt had been a friend of mine for years, and in fact, we'd actually dated back in the day for a Broadway beat."We soon learn that Rachel Berry is a sophomore at William McKinley High School. Rachel joins the glee club in the hope of showing the school her talent and boosting her popularity, as she is being viciously bullied by members of the school's cheerleading squad. Rachel goes on to become the star member of the club, and even lands her dream role as Fanny Brice on Broadway during her first year of college.
In the finale episode of the show, we see 25-year-old Rachel Berry in the year 2020 accepting her first Tony award.
