“Glee Live,” a touring show featuring the cast of the Fox TV show, hits New York City today for a string of performances. Speakeasy had a chance to chat with 23-year-old Heather Morris, who plays the dim-but-lovable cheerleader Brittany on the show.
Morris toured with Beyonce as a dancer before branching out to become a full-time actress. She’s enjoying her time on the “Glee” tour, and looking forward to the return of the show. On “Glee,” her character gets to deliver a lot of the best lines that haven’t been reserved for Sue Sylvester. Some of Brittany’s quotes: “Did you know that dolphins are just gay sharks?” “I’m pretty sure my cat has been reading my diary” and “When I pulled my hamstring, I went to a misogynist.”
Brittany may get the laughs, but we still don’t know her backstory. What’s her family like? What are her hopes and dreams? And what’s the story with her and Santana? Morris is looking forward to the blanks getting filled in–maybe. “I hope we learn more about my character next season,” she says.
Brittany also hasn’t gotten to deliver a show-stopping solo song yet, but Morris is lobbying for a musical moment. “I keep telling them I’d like to sing!” she says.
One thing is for certain: we know Morris can dance. Here she is with Beyonce in a performance of “Single Ladies.”
