A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox says that contrary to rumors, there are no plans to transform hit FOX comedy “Glee” into a stage show.
“We are very careful and deliberate when contemplating brand extensions of our franchises and are mystified why Music Theater International would claim there have been any such discussions about a live theatrical version of ‘Glee,'” says spokesperson Chris Alexander.
Rumors broke this week that Music Theater International was working on developing a live stage version of the comedy; MTI, in fact, confirmed the story, according to Variety.
But 20th Century Fox, which already has a live “Glee” concert tour in the works, was quick to deny plans for that sort of expansion.
