New Directions: Live in Concert!

 is the first Live Concert Tour embarked on by the cast of the hit movie series New Directions. The tour was an instant success, selling out quickly, and soon garnered critical acclaim for 'stunning vocals' and interactions with the audience. Earning the cast over $100,000,000 in sales, it was both a critical and commercial success. Most cast members went on tour, though some were unavailable at certain venues. A corresponding album was released for the concert tour, being the first of the series' albums to reach #1 on the Billboard 200. Some songs that were included on the tour were not released for the movies, thus spawning several singles of its own.
