Cast of Fox series is hitting the road for a concert tour

The cast of Fox's "Glee" is hitting the road for a live concert tour.

Taking a cue from "American Idol," 20th Century Fox TV announced that the scripted Fox musical comedy will embark on a four-city stage tour, with dates in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Phoenix.

"Glee Live! In Concert!" will include performances of "Don't Stop Believin'," "Somebody to Love," "Jump," "Don't Rain on My Parade" and "Sweet Caroline."

"The response of the fans to our little show has been so immediate and so gratifying, we wanted to get out and thank them live and in person," series co-creator Ryan Murphy said. "And what show lends itself more to a concert than 'Glee?' We can't wait to take this show on the road and the actors couldn't be more excited to perform live for audiences in these four cities."

The live show is conceived by Murphy, and participating cast members will include 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) and Dijon Talton (Matt).
