Glee's Last Day of Filming was Celebrated with a Carnival Treat for the Cast
Glee star Lea Michele on Saturday tweeted: "Thank you so much Paramount for throwing us the best goodbye Carnival today! â¤" She followed through with another tweet saying: "So thank you all again so much from the bottom of my heart. I will miss Rachel Berry so very much." On the eve of their last day of filming, the 28-year actress and singer shared a group picture marking the reunion of past and present Glee cast for their final get-together.

Glee's 13-episode final season is set to air its last show on March 20 on Fox. Titled "Dreams Come True," the finale was directed by Brad Buecker from a script written fittingly by series creators Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchich and Ian Brennan. The long-running high-school musical comedy-drama TV series piloted with its first episode on May 19, 2009. In the wake of the death of star Cory Monteith's death in 2013, it was announced by the network that the sixth season would also be the final season of the series.
Broadway and TV star Matthew Morrison who plays Spanish teacher and William McKinley High School glee club director Will Schuester talked to E!Online Sunday night at the Weinstein Company's pre-Oscar party at the Montage in Beverly Hills about their last day of filming for Glee. He said: "We just wrapped about an hour ago. It was a tough day. I'm not going to cry now because I kind of got it all out, but it was a really tough day. It was a beautiful send-off. But it was tough. I was singing to all the kids and Amber Riley starts crying and I'm like, 'Come on, don't do this to me right now.' And then Lea Michele starts crying and then Darren Criss and Chris Colfer. There were a lot of hugs and a lot of tears. It's been an amazing almost seven years." Morrison, according to the entertainment news site, will be seen singing the final song in the final scene of the series finale.
