Breaking Bad: The Musical. Breaking Bad Glee And That’s What You REALLY Missed

The post Glee Creator Ryan Murphy Revealed The OG Script For The Show Was Scrapped Bc It Was So Dark appeared first on PEDESTRIAN.TV .

spilled bulk tea on the iconic show’s worst character Will Schuester (), including the fact he was meant to have a meth addiction. Somehow that tracks, tbh. Murphy appeared as a guest on the podcast, hosted by alumni (who played Artie Abrams) and (who played Tina Cohen-Chang), and recalled what it was like trying to build a script for a musical show. (Side note: these two still being besties seven years after the show ended warms my heart to no end. If ruins their friendship, I’m rioting). “We were having these conversations and I was trying to figure it out,” Murphy said. “Like serendipity, I went to the gym and I was in a towel and a guy went up and handed me a script and he said, ‘I had a feeling you were in show choir, am I right?’ And I was like ‘Yeah.’ And he said, ‘My friend wrote this script and you should read it.’” If a random man approached ME in the bathroom and correctly guessed my niche career I’d be a bit freaked out but I guess this was a blessing in disguise? Murphy thought so anyway, because he was impressed with the script and thought it had a great premise. Though not all of it was perfect. “Mr Schue, I believe, was a crystal meth addict in ’s script,” Murphy said. “The NC-17 version of show choir with a weird protagonist who was unraveling…I just need something optimistic.” A meth-addicted teacher slowly losing control over his life? It’s giving did actually release a year *before* , so maybe that plot line wasn’t a coincidence. Anyway, of course the script was completely overhauled to become the show we know and ironically love today. Though one detail was changed more reluctantly: Will Schuester was meant to be played by Justin Timberlake. As in, his entire character was written specifically with Timberlake in mind. So yeah, it’s no coincidence Matthew Morrison looks like Timberlake from Wish.com. But we won’t have all the tea on that little tidbit until the next episode of the podcast.
