Beating out such favorites as previous winners “30 Rock” and “The Office”, the freshman series took the nation by storm with its combination of energetic musical numbers and the triumph of the underdog. DI is especially proud of Chris Colfer, who joins fellow actors Zach Efron and Ken Baumann as DI alumni that have taken their careers to new heights.
“Chris truly represents the quintessential Destination ImagiNation kid: bright, funny, intelligent, creative and not afraid to be true to himself. I can see the spirit of creativity, teamwork and problem solving in every episode of “Glee”, and that is the true essence of DI,” said Rusty McCarty, COO and Creative Director of Destination ImagiNation.
“Glee” has been on critics’ top lists since its first episode in 2009, and the subsequent original cast album releases quickly topped the charts and continue to climb in rank and sales.
