They’ve all gone New Directions in their careers, but Kevin McHale, Jonathan Groff, and Matthew Morrison looked positively Glee-ful to be back together a decade after the Fox musical-comedy’s end.
In a recent X upload, McHale shared a photo of himself with Groff and Morrison backstage at New York City’s Circle in the Square Theatre, where Groff is starring as the late singer Bobby Darin in the Broadway jukebox musical Just in Time.
McHale has his own theater gig in the Big Apple: He’s starring in an Off-Broadway revival of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at the New World Stages. Morrison, meanwhile, has been touring the country on his Rhythms & Revelations tour.

After Glee ended in 2015, McHale took roles in the TV shows When We Rise, Elite, and American Horror Stories, and he competed in The X Factor: Celebrity.
Morrison returned to Broadway in Finding Neverland, played the Grinch in TV’s Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch Musical!, served as a judge on the reality competition So You Think You Can Dance, and starred in American Horror Story: 1984.
