The cast of Fox’s hit tv show Glee is touring in concert right now. This week they performed two shows at the Rosemont Theater just outside of Chicago. The shows–Tuesday, May 25 and Wednesday, May 26–were both sold out.
The Chicago shows mark the halfway point of the tour, with only three concerts left at Radio City Music Hall in New York this weekend, according to Gleefan.com.
The tour, the cast’s first, is only stopping in four cities. Despite the lack of tour stops, fans of the show, often called “Gleeks” are stoked for the chance to see the cast live.
Gleeks have been lighting up Twitter with accounts of the concert, often giving detailed play by plays of events.
The majority of Tweets from Wednesday nights show came from two devoted fans who gave a continuous stream of tweets, detailing their excitment for the show and their thoughts on it.

While Tuesday’s tweets mostly came from Savannahyang, who tweeted just about every moment of the concert. A sample of her enthusiastic tweets:

JimFalvey While I was dragged to the show, I was really glad I went. The show was a lot of fun. “Don’t Rain On My Parade” was a show stopper. Wow!
