MURPHY CONFIRMS GLEE BROADWAY PLANS

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has confirmed plans to turn the hit TV show into a Broadway musical - and he's already holding auditions.

Bosses at Music Theater Intl. announced in March (10) they were in "negotiations" to turn the popular singing and dancing program into a New York stage production.

But 20th Century Fox representative Chris Alexander moved quickly to slam the claims, insisting he was "mystified" about the rumored talks.

Now Murphy has ended speculation by announcing a stage show is in the pipeline, telling the New York Daily News the musical is "definitely" happening. He adds, "I'm auditioning people now."
