The students and faculty of a Ohio based high school show choir, New Directions, are the focus of Glee. The musical comedy-drama, called Glee to pay homage to glee clubs, follows various students or faculty over the course of a school year as they vie for a spot at various show choir competitions. Instead of focusing on any single cast member the show rotates the focal point between the various characters and includes a musical performance by either a single performer or a group.
