My email was flooded today by Glee fans in NYC looking for information about where the hit Fox series is filming this week.
The excitement is a result of several tweets from Glee director Adam Shankman who is currently in New York working on two projects, a Macy’s campaign and Glee’s Christmas episode!
Here are his latest NYC-related tweets:
“Lost in 48 strt hours of @GLEEonFOX & @macys campaign. Need some @cnn 2 know what’s going on in the world. @andersoncooper, what’s happening”
“Checklist: auditions for @macys #weekofwonderful campaign, DONE! On to location scout 4 @GLEEonFOX ! Mahahahaha! #Xmas”
“Wrappin here 2nite on LA part of @GLEEonFOX & want 2 say thank u w/all my heart 2 the best cast & crew in the Gleeniverse. C ya in NYC!”
“Next 3 weeks:wrap Glee, shoot Macys campaign, shoot NY Glee, direct benefit 4 @TrevorProject , host 24 4 thxgiving, & turn 48. #busyweeks!”
“@blainerumples: @adammshankman is that all you’re shooting in NYC Adam?” OH. THAT…and some #GLEE !!”
Right now, we don’t know where or when thy are filming (it sounds like they don’t either if they are just starting to scout locations) but obviously we’ll have an eye out for updates!
If you have any scoop about Glee in NYC, let us know in a comment below! Hopefully, as we’ve done in the past, we can use the comments here to gather details about the shoot. If you’d rather keep it anonymous, email me at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
UPDATE: Today, Sun, Nov. 18, they have been spotted filming at Bryant Park. Signs for “French Gorilla” (their code name for the shoot) have been spotted on Lafayette and Astor Place in NYC for today, too.
adam shankman tweeted this at about 6:30 on november 15th:
Adam Shankman @adammshankman
Nothing says @GLEEonFOX like central park, and the cloisters. So beautiful…
so
ya
Thanks Anna…think that might just be for scouting?
Right off the bat I’m going to say I don’t really trust any glee tips I get but will pass them on anyway just in case…
got an email they are filming next weekend (after Thanksgiving) at “iconic” places like the “Brooklyn Bridge” but, someone else said a crew member tweeted saying they were filming this weekend (11/17 & 18)…that’s the latest I’ve gotten in email..
One more FYI, something is filming in Washington Square Park today, no proof what it is but just throwing it out there….
I’m around Washington Square, I’ll check it out after class and let you know if I find out.
We just got called from the casting agency for a shoot called “Awsome Town” and asked us to be avaliable on November 24,25.26 for some “big dance scenes”. Sounds like “Glee” to me.
and now we know what signs what to look for too 🙂
so will you be available screen actor? and perhaps give us the gritty on the ditty? :3
Can you tell me the name of the casting agency so I can try to sign up?
They deleted the tweet but: “@accelerometric They’re filming Glee at my school on Sunday!!!”
Also: “@lovesme_not91 apparently, glee is filming at a school in nyc on sunday? wut”
It seems it might be Cooper Union school.
thanks a few others have contacted me with the Copper Union news too…if anyone can confirm/checks it out let us know…can anyone check for No Parking Signs around the school?
They’re filming under the name “French Gorilla” this time.
FYI:
Chris Colfer, star of “Glee”, signing copies of Struck By Lightning:
11/20/12 7:00 PM at Bookends – East Ridgewood Avenue. Ridgewood, NJ.
11/24/12 6:00 PM at Barnes & Noble – Grove Drive. Los Angeles, CA.
[…] Glee might be filming in NYC this weekend, find details here. […]
The casting agent told us that next week will be the “principal photography shoot” though there are second unit crews filming the past few days filming helecopter shots and “background plate shots” of which I was part of yesterday at Lincoln Center (no worries though there truly were no principal actors there. I also heard that they were looking for a “stunt double for Kate Hudson” for nex weeks scenes. Traditionally they like to sneak in when its slow (they dont even tell the SAG reps when they are in) so Thanksgiving Day weekend seems perfect.
Is Black Friday weekend really slow in NYC? I would think the opposite would be true.
Hey^^quick question…what agency are you working with? I’m a dancer with Ailey (bfa) but don’t know how to get involved with filming and projects like glee..any info is greatly appreciated!

[…] Glee might be filming in NYC this weekend, find details here. […]
Lea Michele just tweeted about arriving in NYC.
Glee will in fact begin shooting tomorrow in NYC and at various locations around the city throughout next week into next weekend. It will be a High-Security Closed Set, this is most likely due to all the leaks from the shoot in NYC this past summer and the major storylines that will take place in the Christmas episode. A production crew member tweeted they will also be shooting within the Thanksgiving Day parade.
If anyone does venture out to try and set crash or catch a glimpse of your favorite Gleek, please be careful, and don’t get your hopes up too high. They will most likely have baracades and extra security to keep spectators/fans out and spoilers in. Good luck to everyone heading out!
The actors that are apparently in New York (and they’re all there now) are Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, Darren Criss, and Dean Geyer.
I know Lea tweeted about being there, but how do you know the other three are in NYC?
Chris Colfer got papped at LAX yesterday and he’s doing a book signing on Tuesday (also, Adam Shankman also said he was filming scenes with him and Darren) so while he hasn’t tweeted it’s all but certain he’s in NY now. Darren Criss just did a photoshoot in NY today for some magazine cover. Dean Geyer tweeted a little while ago that he’s in NY.
Thanks!
Adam Shankman tweeted he is doing Macy’s Commercial on Mon too (FYI)
Are the rumors about Cooper Union school true? If so, what day and time of day? I’ll be in the area until nighttime Sunday, so I can confirm whatever I see. Does anyone know anything about tomorrow (Sunday)?
I believe everyones confusing the GLEE inspired Macys ccommercal which Shankman is directing inside JC Studios, with the actual “Glee” shoot which will be next weeend.
They are shooting today, Sunday, and tomorrow. Tomorrow is an ice skating scene but we don’t know the exact locations yet.
Do you know who will be involved in the ice skating scene?
Does anyone know what time they’re filming today? And if it would be worth going to?
Does anyone even know where they’re filming?
soooo where is the filming happening?
“Went to Bryant park, and they are filming glee #loveyounyc #ahhhhh!”

Here’s another location for today!

Be on the lookout for those French Gorilla signs in NYC this week, it is definitely the code name for Glee!
Don’t forget to send pics too! you can email or tweet them to us at olv@onlocationvacations.com or @olv
Anyone know where the ice skating scene is being filmed tomorrow? And if it will be at night or during the day?
Based on previous filming scenes, we can guess that it’ll be at Bryant Park because it’s easier to get filming permits there, and they already filmed at B.P. today.
Yeah they are filming at the rink on Bryant Park tomorrow from 3pm until late at night
Are they FILMING from 3pm or is that just when they start setting up cameras, doing hair & makeup etc?
So they should still be filming around say, 5:30?
Does anyone know what times today the cast will be filming at Cooper Union tonite n which locations specifically in the union as well? Much appreciated:)
They are already there https://twitter.com/allisonesque/status/270303342520061954

Hey! I’m a student at The Cooper Union, They filmed there all today. It was Chris Colfer, Lea Michele, and Dean Geyer. They were all dressed in fancy attire. No singing, just a couple scenes. Seems as though they were using the building as NYADA.
Hey, any news today? I can’t find anything new this morning…trying to confirm Bryant Park rumors…got an email from someone saying they are doing a skating rink scene but no confirmation on location….
Adam Shankman tweeted this earlier today:
Fall morning in NYC. Lets get to work! https://instagr.am/p/SNjnG9oJyh/
Looks like Bryant Park! They’re supposed to be filming at the rink this afternoon. They must be setting up, now.
Did in fact see “French Gorilla” permit signs in front of the trailers parked by CITI Pond (the ice rink) at Bryant Park. Overheard that the rink is closing from 5p-10p for a “private event”.
I’m at Bryant Park now, they are setting up cameras but no sign of cast members yet
Darren and Chris are here
Does anybody know if they will be filming on Wednesday or any other day of this week?
[…] Glee is expected to continue filming in NYC today. […]
Watched them film at the rink in Bryant Park tonigh. Saw Darren and Chris. Darren chatted with us. Also got to meet Zack and take a picture with him. He is my favorite judge on the Glee Project and really a great guy. Also saw scenes filmed with Curts dad.
If anyone knows where they will be filming wednesday-sunday, let me know!!!!!
